Residence of the Dutch Embassy

This historically valuable two-storey Neo-Renaissance villa dates back to 1889. Located on a street that owes its current name to leading Czech Impressionist and pupil of Julius Mařák – Antonín Slavíček – it stands alongside other important works by Czech architects from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1914, the new owner had an attic built above the main façade and the veranda at the rear converted. In 1939, the villa was confiscated by the state police and during the Protectorate it served the German state police. After the war, it came into the ownership of the city. In 1956, it was transferred to the administration of the Diplomatic Service and has been leased to the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands – since 1960, it has served as the residence of the Dutch ambassador in Prague.
