Milíčov Farmstead

Milíčov is a location and area of the former economic court in Prague 11, in the cadastral territory of Háje. The history of the place dates back to the Middle Ages and today serves as a residence for artisanal establishments as well as for city police.

The location of Milíčov is bounded by the streets of Opatovská and Exhibition in the north, the ponds of Šáček, the Killer, Homolka and the boar on the east and south side, and the streets of K Milíčov and the Headed in the west. The name is associated not only with the farm itself, but also with Milíčov forest, a system of ponds with the dominant Milíčov pond and artificially created Milíčov hill. Originally, this area belonged to the Hostivar cadastral.

The origin of the name Milíčov is not quite clear, but it is probably based on the medieval name Milíč. The historical sources sometimes link it with Peter Milíčovc from Milíčova, who in the early 15th century acted as the Royal Purcraby Castle Most and died allegedly in 1416 in Animal Town near Rokycan. Elsewhere, however, this person is listed as Peter of Milicevs.

The name resembles the original visa or settlement Milíčov, which died in the early 18th century. The written record of 1727 states that all the inhabitants of the settlement, where there were two farm and two farm farms, died out. The settlement was part of a prowling estate and, after the demise of the population, its land was attached to the local court.

In 1773 Milíčov is written on the map of the Kouřim Region. The indication sketch from 1841 captures a court called Militschau on the southern edge of Hostivara. A little bit further south, in today's Milíčov orchard on the area of the Újezce u Prahonice, was the so-called bohmisch Militschau. In the 19th century there was an economic court and nearby the hunting grounds Milíčov, also called Czech Milíčov, which later disappeared.

In the 19th century, a castle was used for the building of the yard. However, this construction was not maintained; It was demolished and replaced by a new building in the early 20th century.

Act No. 114 / 1920 Coll. of 6 February 1920 explicitly mentions Milíčov as a settlement in establishing the merger of municipalities with Prague, with Hostivař connected without the settlements of Milichov and Háje. Since 1922, the economic court has become part of the municipality of Háje.

After 1948 the State Farm Milíčov worked on the premises. In 1951, the building went under the State Farm Xaverov, which until 1965 operated cattle and horses. Since 1968, the yard with the descriptive number 100 has been located in the local area and the cadastral area Háje in Prague.

He currently owns the Hlavní město Praha object. The premises of services, craft and construction are located in the area. The part of the court is used by the Prague City Police Department, which has a horse range on the south side of the building. In the immediate vicinity there is Zoopark Milíčov, rain settling tank DUN Milíčov and training ground for dogs. The western part of the location is today stopped by the settlement up to Exnárova Street.

Milíčov presents an interesting example of the transformation of the extinct medieval settlement in the modern multifunctional area. For visitors, the place is valuable as a link between urban Prague and the remains of the original economic landscape.
