Nad Nuslemi was built in 1925.


It is, quite literally, ‘above Nusle’, and also serves as a reminder that, in Czech, Nusle is plural.
I thought this might be because it was formed by the combination of Upper (Horní) and Lower (Dolní) Nusle… but it seems those were already plural too.
One famous resident of Nad Nuslemi was a young Rudolf Hrušínský (1920-1994), who would go on to become one of the most famous Czech actors, especially for playing Švejk in both 1956 and 1957.
