The exhibition will commemorate the folk architecture of Prague

Prague - A exhibition highlighting the monuments of folk architecture in the area of Prague will take place as part of the Year of Folk Architecture. This year, it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of the most famous figures in folk architecture in the Czech lands, Jakub Bursa (1813 to 1884), the creator of rural Baroque. The exhibition opens today at the House of Contented Aging in Troja, where it will remain until September 29. After that, it will be installed at Kotěra Center in Trmal's Villa in Prague 10.
    Some of the monuments of folk architecture are in places where people do not expect them - for example, the timbered structure in Nový Svět Street in Hradčany, a few hundred meters from Prague Castle. The well-known houses in the Golden Lane can also be considered a specific type of folk architecture.
    In the wider center of Prague and further towards its borders, one can encounter many former predominantly vineyard estates, such as Malovanka, Černohouska, Žežulka, Popelka, Spiritka, Pernikářka, Koulka, Jablůňka, Beránka, Hřebenka, Kavalírka, Kuchyňka, Ladronka, Cibulka or Bertramka. There are several dozen of them throughout Prague.
    In addition to individual objects, there are also places in Prague that concentrate more of these monuments - some of them are protected areas. The two village monument reserves in Prague are Stodůlky and Ruzyně, and the village monument zones include Stará Hostivař, Střešovičky, Rybáře, and Bohnice.
