Bývalá osada Buďánka

Finally it started to be repaired.

Always nice meeting with neighbors and other interesting people

It's everywhere now. Everything in a neglected state.

It's been a long time. Now it's finally being fixed. Just a little longer, and there's nothing left.

Beautiful place, just a pity that the "authorities" let it fall into disrepair.

The original workers' emergency colony comes to life again after years of decay and disinterest in the municipality. The first houses are repaired, the first establishments start operating. If this goes on like this, I believe that in a few years it will be a place where people will be happy to meet. Nearby are also the ruins of the Skalka vineyard homestead with a luxurious view of Košíře and Smíchov.

The former workers' colony of Budánka dates back to the first half of the 19th century and is one of the last surviving examples of a contemporary urban ensemble. At the time of the colony's establishment, the Košíř area was only sparsely populated - individual homesteads surrounded by fields and vineyards were scattered among the small villages. At that time, small craftsmen, day laborers from the surrounding vineyards, workers from a nearby sandstone quarry and the Galisina gallery lived in Budánky. In the second half of the 19th century, the character of the village changed considerably due to the development of industry and the rapid urbanization of the area. At that time, workers and craftsmen from the industrially developing Smíchov already lived here. The settlement of about twenty houses (and 300 inhabitants) began to fall into disrepair before the First World War, when part of the quarry was closed. In the 1980s, the government forcibly bought most of the houses and wanted to build a multi-storey building for the Ministry of the Interior. Fortunately, this intention was thwarted by the Velvet Revolution. In 1991, Buďánka was declared a monument zone, but no one lived in the houses or cared for them, so they began to fall into disrepair. Today, the former settlement is slowly coming to life again.
