Rodný dům Václava Veverky House
Rodný dům Václava Veverky, located on the southern edge of the village Rybitví in the district of Pardubice, is a cultural monument with deep roots in Czech history. This simple walled country house belongs to the so-called Old Town Rybitví - a remnant of an older building that preceded the creation of the Synthesia chemical plant. Its importance is that Václav Veverka was born here, known as the inventor of the interference.
The house has a rectangular plan and served not only as a residence but also as a forge. Its architecture is simple: a ground-floor building with a halibut roof in the front shield, which contains two small elliptical windows and a memorial plate with a inscription of a squirrel, born on 10 December 1790. The back of the house has a saddle roof. The entire building is protected as a cultural monument under the register number ZSKP 21199 / 6-4388.
In the garden next to the house there is a rumpal well and sandstone monument dedicated to the Squirrel, which was dedicated to Rybitví in 1883. The monument takes the form of a four-sided pylon with inscriptions placed on a low plinth. There is another monument near the house - bronze interference on a stone pedestal, which allegedly marks the site of the first ploughing of cousin Squirrels.
The birth of Václav Squirrel in 1790 and the dedication of the sandstone monument in 1883 are key events that highlight the historical importance of this place. Today Václav Squirrel's home is accessible to visitors and is worth visiting not only because of its architectural simplicity, but also because of the significant contribution of Squirrel to modernising agriculture.
This monument is a living witness to history and inspiration for those who appreciate innovation and the lasting consequences of one man in the Czech countryside. Visiting the home of Václav Squirrel means connecting with the past and appreciating the invention that has influenced agricultural practices around the world.
