Join us for a walk through one of Prague’s most interesting housing estates from the 1960s.

The Novodvorská housing estate, built between 1962 and 1970, was conceived as an ambitious urban complex inspired by the Swedish housing estate Vällingby and the modernist principles of architect Le Corbusier. During the walk, we’ll focus not only on the construction and architectural design of the residential buildings themselves, but also on the well-thought-out civic amenities intended to transform Novodvorská into a fully-fledged urban neighborhood.

Together, we’ll learn about its architects and urban planners and explore what made it exceptional for its time. We’ll also take a look inside the Church of Our Lady, Queen of Peace, which houses a uniquely designed Stations of the Cross.

We’ll also recall the dramatic events of 1968, specifically the location from which Czechoslovak Television broadcast during the occupation.

The walk will offer a perspective on the housing estate not only as a place to live, but as a comprehensive urban planning experiment of its time, where architecture, everyday life, and major historical events intertwine.

Dates: Nov. 19 at 3:00 PM & Nov. 28 at 1:00 PM
