Towards the end of the 12th century, a literary court developed at Wartburg castle, attracted by Landgrave Hermann I, who surrounded himself with poets and musicians. The poetry of Walther von der Vogelweide describes the brilliant society life which gave rise to the episode of the singers' tourney at Wartburg Castle, a romanticized version of which inspired Richard Wagner's opera, Tannhäuser.

"The Adventures of Mr Brouček" (1920) by Leos Janacek from the books by Svatopluk Čech. "Excursion to the Moon" commences "On a moonlit night in 1888, Mr. Brouček stumbles down Vikarka street after a drinking binge at the Hradčany tavern (Vikarka Inn").....". "Excursion to the 15th century" is also set in Staroměstské náměstí (Old town sq). There is today an inn in Vikarka St called "Vikarka Inn" which possesses "a Mr Brouček's Cellar" and "the oldest Romanesque wall at the Prague Castle" but whether that is the inn used by Čech and Janacek isn't totally clear!
