History edit
The area of Lysolaje has been settled since prehistoric times, and the modern settlement dates to at least the 13th century, when it was a farming village.[1] Ottokar I dedicated the lands to the St. Wenceslas Chapel at Prague Castle.[2] From the 16th century, the village was also used for wine-making.[1] The last landowner of the village before it became self-governing in the 19th century was the Supreme Burgrave of the Kingdom of Bohemia.[1][3]
Lysolaje became part of Prague in 1968, and became a cadastral district on 24 November 1990. Today it forms part of a wildlife corridor on the edge of the city.[1]
