Gazing upon Jalový Dvůr, can you envision a time when this urban quarter was a scattering of farmsteads? Jalový Dvůr, meaning “Barren Court,” hints at its humble beginnings. This area, nestled in Prague 4, specifically the Krč cadastral area, has seen remarkable transformation. Originally, Jalový Dvůr belonged to the village of Horní Krč. It encompassed dwellings numbered 829, 830, 841, and 834. A solitary farmstead gave its name to the entire area and Jalodvorská Street, where the houses stand. In 1900, Jalové Dvory had a population of 152. Along with Horní Krč, it was part of the Královské Vinohrady district. After its incorporation into Prague in 1922, it became part of Prague XIV. In 1949, the part of Krč where Horní Krč used to be, including Jalový Dvůr, was assigned to Prague 14. Today, Jalový Dvůr is a vibrant part of the city, bordered by Vídeňská Street to the northeast and Libušská Street to the southwest. Modern developments are underway, promising new housing and a revitalized urban landscape. Yet, remnants of its past remain. A majestic Small-leaved Lime tree, known as “Lípa na Vídeňské,” graces Vídeňská Street, a silent witness to centuries of change. Its height reaches 18 meters, and its trunk boasts a circumference of 326 centimeters. Also, the former dwelling number 841 on Jalodvorská Street stands as a testament to the area’s architectural heritage. Admire its ornate carved gable and the charming bell in the garden, whispering tales of a bygone era. Jalový Dvůr is more than just buildings and streets. It’s a tapestry woven with threads of history, connecting a rural past to a dynamic present.
