Sklenářka, Historical farmstead in Praha-Troja, Czech Republic.
The rectangular tower-like structure features a hip roof, reinforced corners with diagonal buttresses, and a substantial chimney rising through the roof.
Originally constructed as a wine press in the late 17th century, the building later became a residential property with separate quarters for caretakers and urban owners.
The building gained recognition in Czech cinema when it appeared in the 1931 film Psohlavci, leading to its nickname Katovna or Executioner's House.
The Zoo Prague acquired the property in the 1990s and completed extensive renovations in 2012, including the restoration of painted wooden ceilings and beams.
The surrounding area contains traces of vineyards dating back to 1358 during Emperor Charles IV's reign, making it part of Prague's oldest wine-growing regions.
