Bečvářův dvůr

Bečvářův dvůr is a building complex in Strašnice consisting of three wings arranged around a central courtyard in the traditional farm layout. The main facade features a profiled cornice between floors and a central projection ending in a low triangular gable.

The property traces its roots to the 14th century when three separate farms with fortifications occupied the site. In the late 15th century these farms merged under a single owner, creating one unified holding.

The courtyard is named after its last private owner and still shows the layout of a traditional farm with separate zones for different work. Visitors can see how the original arrangement of buildings reflects the daily rhythm of agricultural life.

The complex today houses multiple commercial businesses following comprehensive renovation work done in the 1990s. Some areas may be in private use, so visitors should check access before exploring the site.

During the 1970s the former stables and grain stores were converted into exhibition halls under Artcentrum Praha management. This transformation shows how the site shifted from agricultural use to becoming a cultural venue.
