Venue History & Information

The wine cellars at Strahov were originally held by the Premonstratensian Order. Though the first mention of the cellars dates back to the 12th century, the spaces became famous later in the 14th century when King Charles IV brought grapevines back from France.  Despite the unfavourable local weather conditions, the Premonstratensians skilfully cultivated grapes with a flavour on a par with those grown in France. 

For its fine work the order was presented with a coat of arms by the king himself; a casting of this coat of arms hangs today behind the bar in the restaurant.

As it was no secret that wine was one of the king's weaknesses, Charles IV naturally remained a faithful and frequent visitor to the enterprise.
