HISTORY
The name of Kralovske Vinohrady (The King's Vineyards) dates back to the 14th century, when the vineyards were founded here thanks to the King Charles IV's privilege in 1358. The vineyards were a flourishing affair, supplying the king's court by wine until the outbreak of the 30 Years War in 1618-1648, when they suffered abandon and were gradually colonized by urban inhabitants. At the beginning of the 19th century the Kralovske Vinohrady (The King's Vineyards) reached their prosperity again thanks to colonel Wimmer, a land-owner who planted the place by beautiful orchards and public gardens famous all over the country. The Kralovske Vinohrady (The King's Vineyards) were accorded a status of an independent municipality in 1864 and, in 1879 they were proclaimed an independent royal city with the attribution of a coat of arms. Vivid building activities enlarged the town. Most of its architecture dates from the 19th- 20th century embracing the Gothic, Neo Renaissance, Art Nouveau and Functionalism Styles, giving a special, inimitable elegance to this city area, which is stressed by the artistic atmosphere, created by the existing theatres, an opera house, a lot of galleries, a historical cinema " Bio Illusion" and a lot of " creative" pubs and cafés hidden in the numerous streets and corners of the Kralovske Vinohrady (The King's Vineyards).
