Werich Villa

The Werich Villa was built at the beginning of the 17th century and originally served as a tannery. Later on, it was bought by the Nostitz family and became the home of Josef Dobrovský, one of the most important figures of the Czech National Revival. In the 20th century, the famous actor Jan Werich moved here and the Czech poet Vladimír Holan also lived here. Nowadays, there is a multifunctional centre for lectures and workshops, an area for temporary exhibition, an interactive exposition dedicated to Jiří Voskovec, Jan Werich and their Osvobozené divadlo (Liberated Theatre).
