The History of Vinoř from Prehistory to the 20th Century
In the 11th century, what is now Vinoř used to be a rural area quite a distance from the city. And since 1976, no one has had to travel from Vinoř to Prague, because Vinoř is part of Prague 9.
A Journey Through the History of Vinoř
Together with the Prague–Vinoř district, we have prepared an exhibition at the Ctěnice Castle Compound that traces the history of this neighborhood. Prehistoric settlements and Iron Age graves have been discovered here. We have more precise information about Vinoř dating back to 1088, when King Vratislav II donated it (then known as Uinar) to the Vyšehrad Chapter, much to the monks' delight. You can see not only medieval documents, seals, and other office supplies, but also exact replicas of coins from that era.
Exhibits documenting the development of the economy and agriculture between the 16th and 19th centuries will show you that work in this field was quite hard labor. The exhibition on the history of the village itself is also worth a visit, including the period of Nazi occupation and liberation by the Soviet Army.
