The settlement of Novodvorská was named after the New Courts in the nearby village of Lhotka. Its construction was carried out in 1963-68 according to the architectural plan of Aleš Bořkovec and Vladimír Ježek. Fountain with two fountain systems in front of the cultural center is decorated with metal sculpture "Dálky" by Jiří Novák from 1970.
The whole area of the square was to undergo a complete reconstruction, in which all the artistic creations were to be removed, incl. fountains. Fortunately, this has been avoided thanks to the initiative of the sculptor Pavel Karouse, who joined the public and the authors of the fountain and the settlement.
