Zprávy památkové péče 2025, 85(2):87-106 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2025.2.01

This study deals with the process of forming the Masaryk Quarter in Brno in the first half of the 1920s in the context of its creation and proto-existence after 1898. It analyses the continuity of the district’s development from the initial civil servant colonies in the decades before World War I to the extensive modernist residential zone of the interwar period and culminating in the construction phase of the 1930s. The birth and appearance of the district were determined by the construction efforts of middle-class building cooperatives of Czech and German-speaking Brno residents, as well as by the work of prominent architects, including Ferdinand Hrach,...

Zprávy památkové péče 2025, 85(2):107-117 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2025.2.02

This study focuses on the beginnings of the Pelhřimov branch of the Club for Old Prague and its attempt to save the historic Hotel Rosol. Detailed research of the archives of the Pelhřimov branch of the Club for Old Prague and extensive conversations between Zdeněk Wirth and Karel Polesný brought to light a vivid story that, based on the struggle for one historic building, reveals the various strategies of the heritage conservationists of the time as well as those of local corporations and city leaders. The case study of the Pelhřimov hotel and the entire square provides a detailed insight into the obstacles faced by heritage conservation associations...

Contribution to the understanding of the historicizing reconstruction of Hluboš Castle under the Oettingen-Wallersteins as an impetus for its preservation and presentation

Lukáš Slabý

Zprávy památkové péče 2025, 85(2):118-129 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2025.2.03

Based on various Czech and foreign sources, this article provides a detailed description and dating of important architectural changes to the castle complex in Hluboš (Příbram district) under the Oettingen-Wallersteins in the 1870s. These structural alterations gave the castle and its immediate surroundings their current appearance. The current owner of the castle is Chateau Masaryk s.r.o., which intends to convert it into a luxury hotel and spa. Given the historical and heritage value of the site, the study concludes with suggestions for how the information obtained could be used for a possible interior exhibition.

Michal Panáček, Pavel Jakubec, Petr Řeřicha, Petr Fajman

Zprávy památkové péče 2025, 85(2):130-144 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2025.2.04

The article describes the appearance of the oldest historical stone arch bridge over the Jizera River in Poniklá, its construction development, and efforts to preserve it. The bridge was threatened with unnecessary demolition in 2021 due to poor political decisions, but thanks to the concerted efforts of experts and the general public, this was averted and the bridge was declared a cultural heritage property. The bridge is a very valuable structural and architectural work documenting the development of the state road network of regional roads around the middle of the 19th century. It was built no later than 1853 of high-quality worked sandstone and underwent...

The tower of the St. James Church in Telč as evidence of structural stabilization carried out in the 1960s

Zprávy památkové péče 2025, 85(2):145-161 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2025.2.05

The St. James Church in Telč is one of the most characteristic architectural monuments of the town, which itself is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The structural failure that affected the church tower in the 1960s was one of the most dramatic periods in its existence, not least because the tower of the church in Hustopeče collapsed at the same time. The case is approached from the perspective of the responsible authorities, experts, and construction companies. Due to the complexity of the restoration, contemporary experts B. Hacar as design consultant, and M. Cigánek were involved in the solution. Each of them represented one of the methodological...
