=========================================================
Barokní predmestská vila byla vystavena v letech 1717 – 1720 Janem Václavem, hrabetem Michnou z Vacínova, podle návrhu Kiliána Ignáce Dientzenhofera. Stavba casto menila své majitele, její zahrada byla v roce 1793 zmenena na anglický park. Letohrádek je nekdy nazýván Vila Amerika, podle zahradní restaurace Amerika, která zde byla otevrena v roce 1826. V roce 1843 ji koupilo mesto Praha a sloužila k ruzným úcelum. Dnes zde sídlí Muzeum Antonína Dvoráka.
