Fara se špýcharem Parish house
Fara in Vinoři, famous for its Baroque architecture, stands on Vinoř Square in Prague 9 near the Church of the Holy Cross. This monument is protected as a real cultural monument of the Czech Republic and represents an important historical and architectural heritage of the area.
The history of the rectory dates back to 1339, when it was first mentioned. At the beginning of the 18th century, the construction was in poor condition, which led to a decision on its whole new position. Construction of the new building started around 1738. In this process it is possible that Johann Christian Spannbrucker was the author, who worked at the Chernín estate from 1733 until his death after 1741. As an alternative, František Maximilián Kaňka is mentioned as a potential author of the reconstruction, which was rebuilt in the Baroque church in 1727-1728. In 1831 there were further modifications to the construction.
Architecturally, the rectory is a storey building built on the foundations of an older rectory with a rectangular ground plan and a modern valb roof. The facade is ochre, with white painted architectural elements. The main facade, oriented to the baits, has a facade lined with rusted lizenas and ends with a crown ledge, with three central windows on the first floor equipped with chabrac parapets. An important element is the entrance portal with a profiled stone lining on the stucco shambran. The side facade is two-axis, simple facade to the yard decorated with a portal with tree-shaped fillings. The interior of the rectory contains elements from the 18th century such as the faboon, the broken-in dusters and the lining of the door. Only the north-western edge and the economic court with the vaulted vaults with the liaison lunnets are covered.
The building has undergone some dramatic changes during its history. In 1945, she and the church were damaged by an air raid, leaving permanent traces of her structure.
