Description
This villa is among the most architecturally and historically significant buildings in the region.
It was constructed between 1909 and 1910 according to the designs of architect Hans Prutscher and uniquely combines elements of Secessionism and Neoclassicism. Particularly distinctive are the decorative caryatids on the mansard roof, which give the villa its unmistakable appearance.
The property comprises a plot area of 2,842 m². The total usable area of 725 m² is distributed over four floors and includes approx. 650 m² of living space, 40 m² of terrace and loggia areas, and 30 m² of ancillary spaces (garage, wine cellar, storage rooms).
Since 2003, the villa has been listed as a protected monument, officially confirming its cultural and artistic significance. Despite its modern spatial concept—each floor is designed as an equally functional and self-contained unit—the villa conveys a sense of timeless elegance through its symmetry and architectural design.
