Chvalský Zámek

Prague, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Chvalský Zámek is a historic château in the Horní Počernice district of Prague that developed from a medieval fortress first mentioned in 1428.

Over the centuries, it passed through the hands of noble families and the Jesuits, who played a major role in rebuilding and expanding the estate. After a fire in 1734, the former fortress was repaired and transformed into a château. The complex, which includes the nearby Church of St. Ludmila, became an important local landmark and later served various agricultural and administrative purposes.

By the late 20th century the building had fallen into disrepair, but extensive restoration work revived it. Today, Chvalský Zámek functions as a cultural and community center, hosting exhibitions, educational programs, concerts, and public events while preserving an important part of Prague’s historical heritage.
