Pernikářka, Cultural monument in Dejvice, Prague, Czech Republic.
Pernikářka is a protected homestead in Prague featuring a main residential building with Classicist design elements. The property is surrounded by an enclosed yard, with most original agricultural structures removed over time.
Pernikářka grew from the gradual merging of seven vineyards; the original 1.5-strych vineyard was named after Old Town gingerbread maker Václav Doležal, who inherited it from his widowed mother in 1656. In 1763 the former Bečvářka and Zvonická vineyards were attached, and by the stable cadastre the estate covered 18 jiter. A late Classicist rebuild followed in 1861, and in 1867 owner Friedrich Fritsch bought and joined the neighbouring Beránka farmstead.
The name comes from Václav Doležal, a gingerbread maker of Prague's Old Town who inherited the original 1.5-strych vineyard from his widowed mother in 1656. The estate grew by merging seven vineyards, and the name Pernikářka stayed with the property long after the gingerbread trade.
The property is located in the Dejvice district and can be reached by tram lines 20 and 26 to the Na Pískách stop. From there, follow Na Perníkářce Street to reach the estate entrance.
