Grébovka (Havlíčkovy sady)

This guide to Grébovka park in Prague follows industrialist Moritz Gröbe, who built the hillside villa and carved its vineyard into the slope in 1871, and the family's later tenant, Archduchess Elisabeth Marie, granddaughter of Emperor Franz Joseph. It traces the scandal that already trailed her by the time she moved into Gröbe's estate. Listen for how the vineyard's terraces, shaped from earth hauled during a nearby tunnel dig, still climb the same slope today.
