Střešovice is a cadastral area in the west of Prague, located in the Prague 6 district. Střešovice is often called the "local Beverly Hills" because it has been home to some famous residents, including Czech President Václav Havel. The neighborhood is made up of green, quiet, village-like streets and is a 10-minute walk from Prague Castle, and the Dejvice district. The major sights include Villa Müller by functionalist architect Adolf Loos (1930) and The Church of St Norbert in Romanesque Revival (1890-1891) style.

History

Střešovice (also known as Třešovice) appeared between the 10th and 11th centuries, and belonged to the Czech royal family until 1143, when the village was given to the Strahov Monastery. It remained in possession of the monastery until the 20th century.

By 1900 Střešovice had 2,500 habitats. In 1922, the number of dwellers grew to 3,879, and 254 houses connected to Prague as a part of the Prague-8 district. In 1949, the united part of Střešovice was integrated with the Prague 5 district, (with Břevnov and parts of Liboc). Another part was integrated into Prague 6 (with Dejvice, Sedlec, Veleslavín, Vokovice and parts of Bubeneč, Holešovice, Hradčany and Liboc). In 1960, almost the whole of Střešovice became part of a new district, Prague 6. In 1990 the Střešovice became a part of the current Prague 6 administrative district.
