    Had a chance to do get inside the Villa last week, and do an in-depth tour.

    When time permits, will post some photos . . . for now, here's a few "thumbnails" - showing the outside of the villa, the balcony, the grand staircase, the large entertaining room [where Heydrich practiced his fencing skills], the swimming pool, the front gate, the guard-house [which was originally a weinstube], and the lovely little guard-dog's that keep the place safe at night.

    Another curious tidbit of information came out of the visit . . . it seems the older son of Heydrich was buried on the premises - and I have snapshot of the [reputed] location. A video I made - of an interview with a past servant - goes along with the explanation . . . and hopefully, I can figure out how to include this in the future post.

    Thank you gents...

    The only period image that I have is the one below Adrian, showing Heydrich's former home.

    Regards,

    Carl


    p.s. One would expect that Lina Heydrich's book has some images inside...perhaps.
    Hello Carl

    In my research on the Villa, I have come across quite a few more photos - even some with the Bloch-Bauer family in them. It makes for an interesting study - to see what the place once looked like, in comparison to what it does today. I got a real thrill out of one photo in particular - that of the family, taken in the very same room where I had the fortune to stand, just a few weeks ago . . . and reputedly, the same room where Heydrich enjoyed practicing his skills with the foil.

    Hope you enjoy!
