In the late nineteenth century in Olomouc held building space that was previously occupied the fortress walls. After their demolition of a fairly extensive location between the historic quarters of the city and the Park area remained free. It was almost downtown, so the land was expensive and was affordable only to very rich people. Such rich were some representatives of the local Jewish community, as, for example, Edward Burger. He headed the Jewish community of Olomouc and was President of the Austrian Association of brewers. In his possession was a prosperous coladilla, which brought in a good income.

Villa for modern Widenski the street became a favourite residence of Edward Burger and now bears his name. It was built in 1895 in the historic style by architect Jakub Gartner. The construction was led by another talented engineer Johann Auleg. Next door to this Villa there were also other Jewish home, but Villa Hamburger was the most beautiful.

The historical manner in which it was built this mansion is characterized by a bizarre mix of different styles. Attentive traveler will find the Villa Gothic elements and details in Baroque style. This use of multiple styles in a single architectural structure is the hallmark of architect Jakub Gartner.

The entire Jewish population of the city during the Second world war has lost its property. Burgers, too, lost his luxury Villa that has been divided into living room and inhabited by other people.
