There used to be extensive vineyards back in the 14th century where we are standing today. The name of the garden and the funicular station was derived just from these vineyards which used to be called Nebozez. At the end of the 16th century the vineyards were replaced by an orchard. The orchard owners changed very frequently and in 1920s the orchard was bought back by the Prague Community. Then the orchard underwent a great reconstruction under the lead of architect Jirí Braul. So in 1842 the garden was opened to the public.
The history of this building dates back to 1677 when the neighbouring villages were purchased by the royal chamberlain Karel Maxmilián Lažanský who built a two-winged summer palace here. In 1809 the summer palace was purchased by anTown printer Bohumil Haas and turned into an excursion restaurant providing not just excellent cooking, accomodation but mainly the magic atmosphere with wonderful view of the city.
