The first mention of Záběhlice dates to the 1088 foundation charter of the

Václav IV (Wenceslaus) who visited the area in 1408[6] and destroyed in the Hussite Wars of 1420.[3] The first school was opened in 1863.[3] By 1907, it comprised five grades; however, two were operated privately.[4] It became a part of the city of Prague in 1922,[7] and formed a division of the Prague XIII district.[8] In the 1960s, the extensive Zahradní Město housing estate was built in Záběhlice.[9]

Záběhlice Castle

Záběhlice Castle (Czech: Záběhlický zámek) was built in the 17th century atop a 14th-century fort.[3] In 1886 a fire destroyed most of the castle and it had to be rebuilt, but by the 20th century it was again in disrepair.[3] In 1907, Václav Černý purchased the castle and magnificently renovated it along with its grounds.[6] During World War I it was host to several high-ranking officials of the Austro-Hungarian Army.[6]
