Open Day in the Villa of Hana and Edvard Beneš

Since 29 May 2010 will the visitors have an opportunity to visit the summer home of Hana and Edvard Beneš in Sezimovo Ústí.

 

The villa, which has been under the custody of the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic since 1975 and which is the only one residence of the Prime Minister situated out of Prague has been largely reconstructed during the recent years.

Hana and Edvard Beneš' summer home in Sezimovo Ústí

In the cooperation with the Hussite Museum in Tábor, it was reconstructed to get the original facade of years when Hana and Edvard Beneš lived there. Since 28 May, when it was opened to the public for the first time, more that 8000 visitors has made a tour of the villa.

Visitors may see the exterior of the villa, the facade which was restored into the original colours with typical green shutters. Visitors may look forward to the popular recess of the President which is situated in the ground floor hall, the dining room and the study which are, together with the bedroom, situated on the first floor.

The interior of the villa

The interior is furnished with antiques and period furniture which was obtained by Hana and Edvard Beneš.

Part of the guided tour is also the walk through the adjacent park which is one of few surviving gardens of 1930'. The tour is terminated at the tomb of Hana and Edvard Beneš.

Personal and political life of Edvard Beneš is lucidly documented in the exposition of the Hussite Museum in Tábor which is situated in the lower part of the garden in the Memorial of Edvard Beneš, the President of the Republic.
