Villa Photo: Villa "Lutzow"

Many of the guests of Karlovy vary, climbing the steep path past the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, the first just suggest to go to another viewing platform, but then freeze in admiration in front of an unusual structure in empirecom style – incidentally, the only building in Karlovy vary, constructed in this manner. This white Villa, built in the mid-nineteenth century on the orders of Baron A. von Lutzow. He planned to use it as a dwelling-house, family residence in a fashionable resort. Interestingly, this was one of the first villas appeared in the carlsbad hills. The architect of the Villa was made by a local craftsman Johann knoll.

Around the Villa the owner has been ordered to create a garden with terraces and beautiful flower beds, romantic alcoves and nooks, with interesting sculptures made by his friend Augustus Kiss.

The greatest delight both children and adults causes a column that has a small sculpture of a cat. Associated with an interesting legend. Tell that once placed in adjacent to the Villa gardens Karo monument to king Charles IV, who had covered the Baron views of the city, he became angry and in turn put a monument to the cat, and turned her tail to the sculpture of the king, thus expressing their contempt and to power, and to city Council, and to all residents of the resort. Some time later the cat turned.

Nowadays the Villa is closed to the public, as it belongs to a private person. To the tower with the cat can be approached.
