Šmukýřka, Cultural monument and historic homestead in Košíře, Czech Republic.

Šmukýřka is a homestead on the hilltop above the Jinočany valley, built as a summer residence combined with a farm. Its two-storey main house has a half-storey attic, a hipped roof and a symmetrical courtyard facade with a segmental-arched gate; barrel vaults survive inside. Farm buildings (stables, sheepfold, barn, granary) enclose a large rectangular courtyard with two entrances.

The site was a Carthusian vineyard called Stárka, covering 50 strychů (just over 14 hectares), mentioned as early as the 15th century. After the Carthusian monastery in Smíchov was demolished, the Prague municipality confiscated it and sold it in 1442 to Old Town burgher Václav z Hrobky. Kliment Krček bought it in 1448, and the hill became known as Krčkova hora.

The name Šmukýřka appeared in vineyard records around 1695 and refers to an early wealthy owner, a decorator or "šmukýř" in old Czech, from the German der Schmuck (jewel, ornament). The vineyard also had a wine press and winemaking buildings.

The homestead is private property, divided among eight owners after restitution, and the garden, sala terrena and garden house are not open to visitors. The chapel of St Procopius stands by the boundary wall and its lantern-topped pyramidal roof can be seen from the street Na Šmukýřce.

A small chapel dedicated to Saint Procopius sits along the property boundary. It served for regular worship services between 1904 and 1909.
