restaurace Na Marjánce Restaurant
The former Marjánka (U Tellingr) cruise inn is located in the Prague part of Břevnov between the streets of White Mountain and Fastrova. Protected as a real-estate cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1975, this building was created at the site of the original Benedict grunt and evolved into an important social centre with an extensive dance hall.
Originally, there was an overseer grunt of benedictines by the road leading from Prague towards Karlovy Vary. In 1808, Josef and Anna Bartoš purchased the land, who built a storey house with an irregular plan. According to historian Boniphace Jan Holub, Jan Černý bought it around 1823. His wife Marie Zemanová, the widow of Zeman, opened the first inn named Marjánka. The name of the object probably comes from her name.
The monument has a three-wing ground plan in the shape of the letter "U" and is open towards White Mountain Street. The architecture shows elements of late classicism, visible on the shield, layout of windows, window shambles and bowling balustades. In 1883 the dance hall Jan Tellinger was built and in 1888 it expanded the construction of Václav Holeček. The dance hall underwent Art Nouveau reconstruction in 1909 according to the design by Alois Dobra, where a storey gallery with a counter roof was introduced. After the reconstruction in 2007 and 2021, the gallery with balustrad is again located on the first floor.
After the sale in 1822, the history of the house is not clearly stated, but there is a theory that since 1857 it was owned by Prokop and Marie Žemliček. In 1883 the owner became the innkeeper Jan Tellinger, followed in 1898 by his relative Adalbert Tellinger. During World War II (1939-1945), coal storage facilities were used. After 1947, there was a butcher's shop and later the building was taken over by the Elektrov, which had its warehouses in the inn.
The dance hall on the ground floor was the largest gathering area in Břevnov. For example, it served for general meetings of the March Reserves and in the 20th years of the 20th century there was a working theatre Břevnov. The cultural importance of the place is drawn by a polka named Na Marjánka (a dance hall near Prague) from composer Kovařík, published in 1900.
Today the object serves for various purposes. On the first floor there is a restaurant and on the ground floor there are alternating business premises such as bookstores or furniture sellers. This monument is an important witness to the development of tourist goals and social life in the Prague periphery, which makes it interesting to understand the historical development of the Břevnov district.

Welcome to the historical monument restaurace Na Marjánce in Prague Břevnov. You are standing in front of an elegant object whose architectural beauty and rich history await exploration. Originally there was a storey house built in 1808 on the site of the Benedict grunt, which with time turned into one of the most important social centres Břevnova. Look up and observe the three-wing floor plan of the "U "-shaped building, which is a characteristic element of its architecture.
Let's look at the origin of this place. In 1808 there was built the first storey house, which served as the beginning of a long and interesting history. As the century developed, the object went into the hands of the Tellinger family, who built a dance hall according to the design of architect Jan Tellinger in 1883. This space became the center of social life until 1909, when Alois Dobr was performed with a stylized reconstruction of the dance hall.
Notice the architectural details now. The building shows elements of late Classicism and Art Nouveau, making it unique in this district. These building styles are visible even today and provide an object of its elegant and historical character.
Now notice the key personalities that were linked to this monument. Jan Tellinger not only designed the dance hall, but also Adalbert Tellinger participated in other modifications. Marie Zemanová then created its kind of legendary atmosphere when space served as one of the largest gathering sites in Břevnov.
The interesting thing about this place is that during World War II, the premises of the building were used to store coal. This historical section adds another layer to its rich past.

Tips for visitors
Best time to visit the restaurant The Marjánka is an early afternoon during spring and autumn months - light is soft and tourism is smaller, allowing you to sit still on the terrace and enjoy the historic atmosphere.
Parking is possible in public parking lots around the Břevnov monastery; if you arrive by car, we recommend you use the parking area along the White Mountain streets and then a short walk to the monument. Public transport to Břevnova is well connected - check the current connection in the traffic search engine.
Take your comfortable shoes with you, because part of the journey leads to an uneven historical background, and also a bottle of water, especially in warmer days. If you plan to stay longer, you can bring a picnic blanket in the adjacent park.
Photography works best during the golden hour - morning and late afternoon - when sunlight highlights the stone details and the roof of the house. The best places for pictures are in front of the entrance gate overlooking the Břevnov monastery and from the terrace restaurant, where you can capture the panorama of the surrounding green.
It is advisable for families with children to plan a visit after lunch when children can relax in a nearby park and then walk to Břevnov monastery area, where children's programs are often organized. In the vicinity (within 30 min) it is worth visiting the Břevnov monastery and taking a walk on the historic White Mountain street where you will find other architectural attractions.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring, the surroundings of Marjánka awaken to life thanks to fresh green and flowering flowers. The light is soft in this period and very pleasant for observing historical architecture in the morning. We recommend a visit in the morning when the air is still fresh and you avoid the biggest rush of people during lunch. Choose a light dress but ready for mild spring temperature fluctuations.
Summer months bring to Břevna full of sun and rich, dense vegetation, which creates shady and pleasant places to relax. The atmosphere is very lively and busy, which gives the place energy. Due to high attendance in the high summer season, it is better to arrive early, for example soon after lunch, to secure a place. Don't forget light summer clothes and sun protection.
Autumn season is characterized by golden shades of leaves and morning fog, which give the monument a calm and nostalgic touch. The lighting is deep at this time and the colors of the surrounding nature are very rich. The ideal time to visit is in the afternoon when the sun falls below and creates beautiful shadows. Take a layer of clothes with you for comfort, because the cooler air can be unpleasant.
In winter the place is more peaceful and almost magical, especially if snow or frost cover the surroundings. The day is short, so it is best to plan a visit at a time when there is the most light or to focus on the cozy atmosphere of the inner space. It is necessary to dress cieple and assume that in advent time or during freezing days the operation or opening hours may be different from in other periods.
