Bílkova vila (Ronov nad Doubravou) Villa
The protein villa, also known as the Nečasova or incorrectly Chittusi villa, is a two-storey Art Nouveau building located in Ronov nad Doubrava. It was built between 1932 and 1934 according to the design by František Bílek for his brother-in-law Jaromír Nečas, a Prague doctor. The villa is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The creation of this building was linked to intensive cultural and architectural development in the 20th years of the 20th century in Czechoslovakia, when Art Nouveau and new directions in construction affected design. This effect is evident in the white wall.
Architecturally, the villa is built into a mild slope and is 14,6 × 8 meters. The most valuable part of the interior is the central storey hall with wooden oak staircase and carving exceptional railing. The spatial disposition of both levels is similar, which allows harmonious interconnection. The outdoor space is decorated with two reliefs by František Bílek: the bronze head of Christ and a terracotta lunette called "How Time Flees.".
Originally served the villa only for summer stay. In 1954, Nečasov's husbands donated it to the municipality of Ronov nad Doubravou on the condition that it be used for cultural purposes. It now contains the Antonín Chittusi Gallery, which contributes to its incorrect labelling as Chittusi's villa.
Today, the White Villa is not only a monument to Art Nouveau architecture, but also to the cultural centre of the village. Its history and artistic elements make it an interesting place to visit. Exploring its interior and outdoor reliefs is a great opportunity for anyone interested in history and art.
The White Villa is worth visiting not only as a monument to architecture, but also as a place that maintains the cultural heritage of the village Ronov nad Doubravou. Its history and artistic elements attract visitors from all over the world, making it a necessary place for every traveler who moves around the Czech Republic.

This building is an example of Art Nouveau, a style known for its ornament and richness of detail, which makes it a real treasure for the eyes.
The villa was built between 1932 and 1934 according to the design of František Bílek. This architectural master designed it for his brother-in-law Jaromír Netime, an important Prague doctor. It is interesting that the building is sometimes referred to as the Nečásov or even the wrong Chittussi villa, which reflects its rich history and connection with significant personalities.
Take a closer look at the front of the building. Note the elegant lines and detailed carving railing, which are a characteristic feature of the Art Nouveau. These elements not only decorate the villas, but also tell the story of the time of its creation. The interior is equally fascinating with a central storey hall and oak staircase, which provide space of beauty and comfort.
Among the key personalities associated with this villa are of course her architect František Bílek and Jaromír Nečas. Bílek, recognised by his contribution to Czech architecture, has left a lasting legacy to this project. In 1954 the villa was donated to the village of Ronov nad Doubravou, another important milestone in its history.
The interesting thing about this building is that even though it is sometimes referred to under different names, it stands as a witness to the architectural art of František Bílek and his ability to combine functionality with beauty. This historical context adds another layer of interest, which makes it not only visual but also intellectual attraction.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings with it awakening nature and fresh green color around the villa. The light is fine and does not shine during this period, which is ideal for observing the details of architecture. We recommend a visit in the morning when the air is the cleanest. Prepare a light jacket, because morning temperatures can still be low despite sunny weather.
In the summer months the area is full of dense vegetation and the sun shines the most. The atmosphere is lively and full of colors, but because of the warmth and high season there are more visitors. For the best experience we recommend arriving early in the morning to avoid the biggest crowds. Dress lightly and don't forget to protect yourself from the sun and plenty of water.
Autumn is characterized by golden tones of leaves and foggy morning hours, which provide a memory of melancholy tones. It is the best time for a quiet observation of details in silence, because the number of people is decreasing significantly. It is advisable to take layered clothes and firmer shoes because humidity and cooler air can be felt in the garden.
Winter offers a more machined landscape and short days with low sun, which creates long shadows on the facade. The atmosphere is quiet and very calm. Due to the frost it is necessary to wear very warm clothes, including hat and gloves.
