Immovable technical monuments managed by the Technical Museum in Brno

Ondřej Merta

The Technical Museum in Brno has received several technical immovable monuments in situ into its care since the 1970's, and several others were considered. The buildings were gradually reconstructed and opened to the public in cooperation with the NPÚ and other concerned institutions. In most cases, the Museum received buildings which had been stripped of their authentic manufacturing technology before being granted historic protection. This led to the necessity of supplying the technological equipment and specialized museum exhibition equipment that had a thematic relationship to the monuments presented. These include the blacksmith's house in Těšany, the windmill in Kuželov, the water mill in Slup, the Stará Huť forge near Adamov, the MJ-S3 "Zahrada" infantry blockhouse in Šatov, the Šlakhamr in Hamry nad Sázavou, and the Brno-Líšeň suburban route.
