Hi Paul,
it is a former hunting lodge, built in 1689-1691. From 1882 on, it belonged to Václav Šlechta who ran a very popular restaurant here (the building is located in a beautiful park popular now and then for afternoon and weekend walks). In 1950, after he refused to give his business over to the Communist state, he got a heart attack and died. The restaurant continued until the 1970s, in 1978 and 1980 the building got on fire and almost burnt down, since then, its state is only deteriorating. It now belongs to the Prague 7 district.
I hope this helped. Do you think you might be a descendant of that family? Šlechta is not a very common Czech surname.

Hello Lucie,
Thank you for the response. It is highly likely that I am, but have not proven or disproven it yet. My ancestors came from Sadská and I do have Václav Šlechtas in my family tree. My ancestors moved to Sadská in 1620, but before that, I do not know where they came from. I have not traced where some of the Václavs went as of yet. I hope to find it someday, because I plan to travel and visit the Czech Republic someday. I apologize for rambling on, Thank you again for the information.
