Na vinobraní 38, Historical homestead in Záběhlice, Czech Republic.
Na vinobraní 38 is a preserved farmhouse in the residential district of Záběhlice that shows traditional Czech rural architecture. The building retains the layout and features typical of agricultural homesteads that once dotted this Prague neighborhood.
The core of the homestead is Baroque and dates from the late 18th century. It was rebuilt at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and again in the second half of the 19th century, when it gained its Neo-Renaissance facade and added tower. Wine cellars from its vineyard past survive.
The street name Na Vinobraní ("At the Grape Harvest") recalls the vineyards that once covered the slope of Homole above the Botič stream. The homestead keeps its vaulted wine cellars, and its terraced garden on the south slope is decorated with a set of eight sandstone sculptures of funerary character.
The property sits within a residential neighborhood and is accessible on foot, though it may not always be open to the public. Daytime visits work best if you want to see the building and its surroundings clearly.
The garden on the southern slope is terraced in several levels and decorated with a set of eight sandstone sculptures of funerary character, a detail easy to miss from the street. A small courtyard lies on the northern side, and a garden house adjoins the wall by the yard.
