Description was written before the event

On Saturday, September 12, the residents of Horní Počernice will commemorate the life of courageous priest František Štverák, who was imprisoned under both Nazi and Communist regimes. At a solemn gathering, he will be posthumously awarded honorary citizenship of Prague 20.

About the venue: Chvalský Palace

Chvalský zámek in Horní Počernice traces its origins to a medieval fortress first mentioned in written sources at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1652 it passed to a Jesuit college and was gradually rebuilt into a Renaissance and early Baroque château, a form it retains today. After extensive restoration it reopened to the public in 2008 as the cultural centre of Prague 20 district. It now hosts exhibitions for children and adults, open-air concerts in the courtyard, and also serves as a venue for weddings and corporate events.
