What's in a Prague street name

V Kapslovně was built in 1997.

I’m about to go on annual leave from work for two weeks and have what I can only describe as a Kapsload of work to get through today, so I’m happy to keep this one brief and point you to https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/22/prague-3-day-74-ke-kapslovne/.

tldr: Kapslovna was a factory making cartridges for infantry. Then it wasn’t. Then it became a biathlon club and still is one.

It seems there’s going to be a park called Kapslovna here soon, too, so that’s nice: https://praha3.cz/aktualne-z-trojky/zpravy/prijdte-se-seznamit-s-navrhovanou-podobou-budouciho-parku-kapslovna-n1143806.htm
