Film studios

In Barrandov there are the famous film studios that were founded by the father of the former President Václav Havel. In its time, it was the sought-after place for Prague’s upper crust. The construction of the luxurious film studios commenced in 1931 in accordance with the Max Urban project, and on the 25th January 1933, the first day of filming “Murder in Ostrovní Street” took place there.

Currently the film studios are retaining their success and, thanks to its excellent availability, Barrandov became a sought-after residential site with a huge potential for multifaceted usage.

A uniquely luxurious panorama

The area of Barrandov owes its success not only to the nearby film studios. This locality is situated in the places where the sun’s rays shine, i.e. on the sunny slopes on the south sides of the Prokopské and the Dalejské valleys. With it’s unique view of the city’s panorama, Barrandov offers what no other part of Prague can offer. In addition the immediate proximity of two protected nature parks is also a welcome benefit. The complete civic amenities including schools, restaurants, shops and transport accessibility constitute the basis of our housing requirements.

Apart from those who are mentioned above, amongst the most important architects in the Barrandov locality were Max Urban, Vladimír Grégr, Jaroslav Fragner, Rudolf Stockar, František Albert Libra and also Rudolf Bettelheim.

The Ram in the sign of a picturesque “PragueVillage”

The original name of Bubeneč was Přední Ovenec, while Zadní Ovenec lay in the territory of today’s Troja. The name Bubeneč probably originated from the German confusion of the word Ovenec. On the signs in this quarter, in addition to the town walls, you can also find a ram that refers to its original name.

The centre of the former Ovenec was the location near the Church of St. Gothard, from which the paved Gotthardská Street leads to the Royal Game Reserve (Stromovka). There you will discover breathtaking corners and luxurious scenic streets. You are now in Old Bubeneč, which seems like a village that survived the pressure of the emerging and modern city. You will not find any department stores or shopping areas there. Yet there is everything that you may need for a luxurious life.

A village that is now a part of Prague

While between 1904 and 1921, Bubeneč was a separate village, from the 1st January 1922 it became a part of Prague.

You will find a luxurious villa area there, which was built in the second half of the 19th Century. Currently, many of the magnificent villas are the homes of Embassies. The southwestern and the west parts of this district comprise apartment buildings dating from the 1920’s.

The most extensive park in Prague and the largest Prague Island located on the Vltava River

The tranquil atmosphere of the entire area is illustrated by the beautiful large Royal Game Reserve or Stromovka and the adjacent Císařský Island on the Vltava River, through which the bridge to Troja leads to the opposite bank. Císařský Island is the largest island in Prague, which is now also the home of a new horse-riding club.

As if Bubeneč has not enough already its BESTs: Stromovka with its approx. 90 ha is the largest protected park in Prague. There are cycling routes and also paths that are suitable for in-line skaters. Children can play in the playgrounds and plenty of green areas invite you to relax, to exercise or to have a luxurious romantic picnic. The Governor’s Summer Palace, the terrace of which offers beautiful views, is also a part of the park.
