The construction of the fortresses at Terezín (central Bohemia) and Josefov (northeast Bohemia) in the second half of the 18th century was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's defense against the Prussian menace. Both of these constructions were built between 1780 and 1790. The chosen construction material was generally brick in combination with partially used sandstone. The Empire's administration was responsible for the production of bricks and control of the brickyards' production. According to historical Austrian Military Academy and archive documents, information concerning the fortress construction at Terezín was found. The article focuses on the technique and technology of historical brick production and defines the non-negligible rules which should be applied during the execution of restoration and reconstruction work.

Keywords: brick, brick production, baroque fortress, Terezín, technology, Maximilian de Traux, protection of cultural heritage
