Petřiny

Petřiny is a neighbourhood in Prague comprising the oldest panel housing estate in the city.

It was built on an empty field between the military hospital in Prague, the Obora Hvězda game reserve, and the crossroad at Vypich in Břevnov.

Part of the area, as well as a tram stop and a student dormitory, is named Větrník after a windmill which functioned from 1722 to 1905, whose building now serves as a guesthouse.

[3] The newest development of buildings in the housing estate, named Sídliště Hvězda, were designed by Vlado Milunić.

The extension of the Prague Metro's A line from Dejvická to Motol, which opened on April 6, 2015, included a station at Petřiny.
