What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 333: K Novému dvoru

K Novému dvoru was built in 1925.

K Novému dvoru is named after the former farmstead Nový dvůr (New Court), as is the nearby main road, Novodvorská (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/01/11/prague-4-day-276-novodvorska/).

From 1925 to 1930, the street was called Mikoláše Aleše, after one of the greatest Czech painters; you can learn more about him on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/10/22/prague-1-day-210-alsovo-nabrezi-ales-embankment/ (which is a good place to get good views of Prague and avoid most of the tourists).
