Apolinárská ulice (1898) - Praha, CZ - Photos Then and Now on Waymarking.com

"The facades of the old houses surrounding the Church were remodelled and the oldest middle building has an elegant Baroque portal. In the background on the left, beyond building No. 445, we can see the tip of building 446 (according to the map) approachable by a narrow access road running around the corner structure No. 444 (the only extant building of those on the picture). The smallest structure is the ill-famed Jedová chýše (The Poisonous Shanty) pub, according to the map No. 448. However, all literature cites No. 446 as the building, a fact that might be explained by the possible link of this house with the tall building in the background. (But it also may be a cartographic error.) On the right, on the corner of Vinicná Street, we can see a part of building No. 440. The Church of St Apollinaris, built some time after 1362, stands on a little hill called Vetrov (Windy). One of the buildings in the vicinity was owned by king Wenceslas IV. It was perhaps because of its position or its distance from the more populated areas that the church was one of very few buildings spared from the destruction caused by many wars. Surprisingly, even the Prussian military which set up its workshop here for the production of ammunition in 1757, caused no substantial harm to the church."
