One of the biggest panel building estates in Prague may surprise some inexperienced people. Why? Because you may feel like you are in Hyde Park in London thanks to the extensive green park here.

Stodůlky

Instead of the usual and practically omnipresent concrete, which is typical for panel building estates, there is an enormous park in the Prague district of Stodůlky, with the Prokop Steam running through it. People living in Prague in other districts can only dream about so much greenery!

Only the panel buildings and the metro line disrupt the romance of the area.

A water reservoir called the Nepomucký Pond was also built here in the nineteen eighties. The romantic ambiance of this beautiful district is only disrupted by the panel building panorama and the tall concrete bridge for the metro line, which gives it a slightly industrial appearance.

The Prague district of Stodůlky is located in west Prague, where it covers an area along the Stodůlky, Luka, Lužiny and Nové Butovice metro stations. This is one of the biggest panel building estates in Prague, covering an area of 963.01 ha.

The original village of Stodůlky is bravely resisting the panel building estate

When they were not built on green land, the perimeter Prague districts were built either on the site of previous development, or gradually and inconspicuously crept right up to this older development. And this is what happened in Stodůlky. The core of the old village has been preserved and visitors are afforded the interesting and slightly sad spectacle of a historic village surrounded by the panel “art of socialism”.

Up to the nineteen fifties the original old village of Stodůlky was one of the most valuable villages in the area surrounding Prague from the aspect of historic monuments. What is their situation now? The area has been registered as a village monument reservation since 1995. And so we have some guarantee that the picturesque church and the original historic buildings will not be completely swallowed up by the panel buildings.

Braník Brewery

A fortified hill for defense known as Braník

The colourful history of Braník dates back to the 11th century, when we read about Branice in historical sources. This place evolved, grew, and changed its area until it became the city quarter of Prague 4 in 1990. History is also embedded in the buildings that are the jewels of this municipal territory. They invite one to see them, so everyone should surely visit this place.

The beauty of Braník's history

One of the oldest sights is certainly the four-wing baroque building with a courtyard dating back to the 3rd quarter of the 17th century. This Dominican Court was in a poor condition until recently. Since 2014 it has been rented by the Zemský brewery, which performed a costly reconstruction. Now it runs a period pub here. The single nave neo-Romanesque church with an apse and tower on a square ground plan is also worth mentioning. It is the church of St. Prokop, standing in the shade of tall trees. Remarkable utility buildings include Branický ice factory, the former water treatment plant – Waterworks, and the unforgettable Branický brewery.

The present-day luxury of Braník

It has a slightly different appearance. Braník is beautiful with its dense communication network, traffic is good and the accessibility of this site is more than satisfactory. In addition to historic buildings, you will find the residential neighborhoods for more than inviting for family life. Calm, wooded areas, first class architecture offering new luxury residential apartments as well.

Braník as a pleasant village of the big city and luxurious beer

Because the soul of this part of town are its pubs and taverns. Places where human lives have always met and drank joyfully. The Branický brewery is proof of this. The luxurious Neo-Renaissance building from 1898 with early Art Nouveau elements and coats of arms designed by Mikoláš Aleš. But we have to disappoint you, since 2006 beer is unfortunately no longer brewed here.

Braník as the Czech Hollywood?

There is a high concentration of stars that chose this luxury location as their place to live. Jan Svěrák, Tomáš Vorel, Ondřej Trojan, Tomáš Jančařík, and David Vávra live here.
