Hanavský Pavilion

The magnificent Hanavský Pavilion is one of the great monuments on Letná hill. Its sumptuous interiors now house a restaurant of the same name, where you can relax and enjoy a breathtaking view of Prague.

The pavilion owes its name to the former director of the Komárov steelworks, Prince Vilém Hanavský. Designed in a style that blends neo-baroque and Art Nouveau, it was originally the steelworks pavilion at the 1891 Universal Exhibition. Its designers, O. Haiser and J. Hercík, were inspired by Dutch Baroque, although many of the decorative elements are typical of the Viennese Secession.

The Hanavský Pavilion is also a technical building. It was the very first building in Prague to be constructed using iron, concrete and glass. After the Universal Exhibition, it was completely dismantled and moved from its original location to be reassembled in Letná Park.
