Havlíčkovy sady, also known as Gröbovka or Grébovka, is a park combining Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Romantic styles in Praha 2, in the Vinohrady district, not far from Vršovice and Nusle. To the north it is bounded by the streets U Havlíčkových sadů and Rybalkova, and to the south by the Botič stream. The park lies at an elevation of 200–245 m and covers an area of 11 ha, of which 1.7 ha is occupied by a vineyard. It was created between 1871 and 1888 as the garden of the Gröbova vila (house no. 58), built for the Prague industrialist Moritz Gröbe, a partner in the firm Lanna a Šebek. The total cost of building the estate reached 1,760,000 Austro-Hungarian crowns, equivalent to roughly 500 million CZK today. The park grounds contain the Gröbeho vila, the Pavilon, a vineyard with the Viniční altán, the Grotta, and the Horní and Dolní Landhauska homesteads, from which a millrace once ran to the Nuselský mlýn. In 2012 these were joined by a wine cellar and a children's playground. In 1964 the estate was listed as a cultural monument. Since 1999 it has been administered by the Praha 2 municipal district. Owing to the overall dilapidation of the grounds, in 2001 the Praha 2 municipal district began an extensive reconstruction, including the restoration of the greenery and paths. The reconstruction was completed in 2014. The following year, 2015, the completed work was honoured with the Patrimonium pro futuro award, given for achievements in heritage conservation by the Národní památkový ústav.
