Gröbe's Villa

The two-storey Neo-Renaissance villa in the park (originally a private garden) on the edge of Vinohrady, Vršovice and Nusle was built in 1870–1874 from designs by Antonín Barvitius for the Jewish entrepreneur Moritz Gröbe. The interiors and the nearby pavilion (originally a garden game room with a shooting range, skittle-alley and chessboard tables) are the works of Josef Schulz.

The synagogue in Vinohrady, sometimes called the Vinohrady Temple, was built in 1895–1896 according to designs by the Viennese architect Wilhelm Stiassny (he also designed the Jubilee Synagogue, known today as the Jerusalem Synagogue, in Prague and the synagogues in Jablonec nad Nisou and Čáslav).Zdeněk Lukeš, Splátka dluhu: Praha a její německy hovořící architekti 1900–1938, Fraktály Publishers, Praha, 2002, pp.

Sts Cyril and Methodius Church

Sts Cyril and Methodius Church in Resslova Street was built in 1730–1735 as the Roman Catholic church of St Charles Borromeo in Baroque style from a design by the architects Paul Ignaz Bayer and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. In 1783 the church was abolished and served as storage. In 1933–1934 it was handed over to the Orthodox church which has taken care ever since. In 1935 it was dedicated to Sts Cyril and Methodius.PV [Pavel Vlček], Kostel sv. Cyrila a Metoděje, in: Růžena Baťková a kol., Umělecké památky Prahy.

In the second half of the 14th century the church was rebuilt in Gothic style and it was adapted during the Renaissance and Baroque periods as well.

Jesuit College on Charles Square

The Baroque college of the New Town Jesuits was built in several phases. In 1658–1665 and after 1674 the southern part with St Francis Xavier Church was built with the participation of the architects Martin Reiner and Carlo Lurago (?). During the following phase in 1687–1702, Paul Ignaz Bayer took part, which was completed in 1751 and after 1759 probably under the direction of Jan Josef Wirch.
