Řepora, Open-air museum in Stodůlky, Prague, Czech Republic
Řepora is an open-air museum in Stodůlky displaying a walled medieval village with replicas of homes, craft workshops, and an inn built using period construction techniques. The buildings contain traditional furnishings and arrangements that show how people lived and worked during that era.
The museum was established starting in 1999 to recreate a village from the 1300s during the reigns of Charles IV and Wenceslas IV. This period was marked by both cultural growth and social changes that deeply affected rural communities.
The settlement demonstrates traditional crafts through working potters, woodworkers, and blacksmiths, showing how these trades shaped daily life in medieval times. Walking around, you see how ordinary villagers made their living and what skills mattered most in their communities.
The site is reachable by public transport but explored on foot, as vehicles are not permitted inside the area. Plan for leisurely walking and allow time to watch craft demonstrations and examine period details closely.
The settlement keeps sheep and goats that wander and graze throughout the grounds, adding to the authentic feel of medieval village life. It also features natural ponds stocked with fish and freshwater crayfish, reflecting what sustained the community.
