The bombed house remained until the end of the war, and the damaged furniture could not be repaired. At the end of April 1945, the Red Army troops came here, which was later used as a stadium. The villa began to open to the public in September, 1985, but it was not open to the public, but has always been regarded as "the only symbol of Brno city".

The villa was handed over to the museum in Brno and opened to the public. At the end of 1995, the city decided to decorate a floor with replicas as it is. This is an important step in the reconstruction of the whole house.
