Karlovy Vary villa gets protected status

Karlovy Vary’s Preciosa Villa, which is part of a luxurious villa district known in the West Bohemian spa town as “Westend”, has been made a protected monument. It is the second cultural monument declared in the Karlovy Vary Region in 2024.

The building, which contains apartments, was built in the French neo-Renaissance style in 1902 and 1903.

The initiative to declare it a cultural monument came from the owners of the building themselves, the National Heritage Institute in Loket said in a press release.
