Křeslice

Hidden within Prague’s embrace lies Křeslice, a quiet suburb with a story to tell. Křeslice whispers tales of transformation, from independent village to a part of Prague’s sprawling urban landscape. In 1974, Křeslice, along with other villages, was officially incorporated into Prague. This marked a significant shift for the area, changing its identity and its future. Originally, Křeslice encompassed 334.8 hectares. A curious administrative puzzle unfolded between 2000 and 2002. A section of Křeslice, geographically belonging to Pitkovice, became administratively part of Prague-Křeslice in 2000. However, it wasn’t until December 19, 2002, that this section officially joined the Křeslice cadastral area. Today, Křeslice is experiencing a residential boom. New family homes with gardens are springing up, harmonizing with the surrounding natural beauty of the Botič-Milíčov Nature Park. This growth presents challenges. The existing local roads struggle to accommodate the increased traffic. But Křeslice isn’t just about modern development. The Štět Farmhouse stands as a testament to its past, a cultural monument whispering stories of bygone eras. And somewhere within the confines of the Horní Křeslice courtyard, remnants of an old fortress lie hidden, a ghostly echo of Křeslice’s more fortified past. Křeslice offers more than just its own charm. The surrounding area beckons with attractions. Explore the Dendrological Garden and park in Průhonice. Wander through the Milíčov Forest. Take a refreshing dip in the Hostivař Reservoir. Or experience the thrills of the Aquapark in Čestlice. Křeslice, a blend of old and new, invites you to uncover its secrets, explore its surroundings, and experience a unique corner of Prague.
