National House Vinohrady, Renaissance Revival cultural monument in Vinohrady, Czech Republic
National House Vinohrady is a two-storey Neo-Renaissance building at náměstí Míru 9, completed in 1893–1894 to Antonín Turek's design. Its three wings open toward Slezská and Korunní streets, and its decoration involved Antonín Popp, Josef Strachovský and Adolf Liebscher.
The building was designed by architect Antonín Turek and opened in 1894 on land that had once been part of the royal vineyards. It was built during a period when Czech communities were creating public gathering places to affirm their own cultural life under Austrian rule.
The building's name refers to the royal vineyards that once covered this part of Prague, and the district still bears the name Vinohrady (vineyards). The Czech National Social Party was founded here in April 1898, and the Czechoslovak Legionary Community in May 1921. Today two restaurants, Brüxx and Vinohradský parlament, occupy the ground floor.
The building opens to the public mainly during events, so it is worth checking what is on before you go. It sits in the heart of Vinohrady, a district that is easy to reach by metro or tram from the city center.
The building's address, náměstí Míru 9, places it on the square that served as the urban centre of Královské Vinohrady when the town was elevated in 1879, which is why the social house was sited here. In March 2026 the state property office sold the building on its eighth attempt, for 399 million korunas, to a Prague legal entity.
