Vinohrady Theatre, Theatre building on Míru Square in Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic

Vinohrady Theatre stands on Míru Square in Prague's Vinohrady district, built in 1905–1907 by Jan Majer and Josef Veselý to Alois Čenský's design. The pale facade rests on a Neo-Renaissance base with Art Nouveau decoration, its central section projecting forward with three tall arched windows above three entrance arches, framed by columns and topped by a crest. Two bronze-toned winged figures, Courage with a raised sword and Truth with a mirror, by Milan Havlíček, stand on the roof pylons.

Construction began on 27 February 1905 to designs by Alois Čenský, with builders Jan Majer and Josef Veselý; the Neo-Renaissance shell carries Art Nouveau decoration. The theatre opened on 24 November 1907 with Jaroslav Vrchlický's Godiva, directed by F. A. Šubert. An opera and operetta company shared the house until 1919, and from autumn 1950 to January 1966 the building served as the Theatre of the Czechoslovak Army.

The theatre's name recalls its origin as the Municipal Theatre of the Royal Vinohrady, founded in 1907. Its curtain, painted by Vladimír Županský, shows a nude muse. Playwright Viktor Dyk worked here around 1915, and Karel Čapek was dramaturg during Jaroslav Kvapil's tenure from 1921 to 1928.

The theatre stands on náměstí Míru in Vinohrady, Prague 2; the box office and business office are in the adjoining Ibsenova street, while workshops are in Korunní street near Orionka. From the 2026/2027 season the company moves to the Radiopalác at Vinohradská třída 1789/40 for about 33 months during reconstruction, in a hall adapted from the former Květen cinema for 370 spectators.

The two winged figures on the pylons above the central facade are named Courage (an angel with a raised sword) and Truth (an angel with a mirror). Sculptor Milan Havlíček made them; the mirror and sword are the details to look for.
