Vertical painted sundial on a gable of the villa Hanacka built in 1902 are decorated with with Masonic symbols and the allegory of simple life. It can measure sun time from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The single-story townhouse, called Hanacka, situated on the corner of Hanacka and Rejskova streets, was built in 1902 according to the arch project of Vladimir Fischer. The builder was the simple builder Václav Soucek, who took great account of Hana ethnographic region folk traditions.

So he entrusted the painting of the house to Jan Köhler. The decoration focuses on floral ornaments, on angels holding the attributes of the building's art (triangle and compass). Then there are depictions of woes and vices.
Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
