Spiritka, Cultural monument and homestead in Břevnov, Prague 6, Czech Republic.
Spiritka is an estate comprising a two-story residential building, entrance gates, former stables, and gardens set within traditional sandstone architecture. The structures display Baroque features that give the complex its distinctive character.
The property originated as a monastic vineyard in the 16th century but was transformed into its current Baroque form between 1766 and 1772. It later served as a brick factory and state farm before undergoing renovation in 1982 to become a government facility.
The name comes from Jan Spirit, an 18th-century owner who left his mark on the property. Today it functions as a venue where people gather for events and celebrations, keeping the space connected to local heritage.
The estate is located on Atleticka Street in the Břevnov district and operates as a hotel and restaurant offering accommodation and dining. Visitors should be aware that the property also hosts events and gatherings, which may affect availability at certain times.
The property underwent several completely different roles: from vineyard to brick factory to state farm before becoming a refined hotel and gathering space. This transformation tells the story of how a single place adapted across centuries of change.
