Why does this romantic ruin look so new? We are standing before the Zřícenina Baba. It’s perched on a hill overlooking the Vltava River. The Zřícenina Baba isn’t your typical crumbling castle. It was actually a humble vineyard winepress in the 17th century. During the turbulent times of the War of the Austrian Succession, it was destroyed. Fast forward to the mid-1800s. Prague was in the throes of railway expansion. The train company decided to enhance the view for passengers. They transformed the old winepress into a picturesque “ruin”. They even added Gothic arches to complete the illusion. This clever marketing ploy made Zřícenina Baba a beloved landmark. It became a popular hiking spot. Today, it still offers breathtaking views of Prague and a glimpse into a curious chapter of the city’s past.
