Architecture Day: Fryšava pod Žákovou horou - Medlov Views

The functionalist Hotel Medlov was built in 1933 by entrepreneur Leoš Stehlík according to architect Alois Wachsman's design. Originally it served as a hotel with a girls' camp. Between 1968 and 1973, the building underwent extensive modernist renovation designed by architect Jiří Herzán, giving it its current appearance - a striking roof on "V" columns, metal railings, and typical birch-plywood plaster.

The all-day programme offers a series of themed tours: from architecture through artworks and original furniture to the building's technical infrastructure. Special routes include views from the roof over the park, meadows and surrounding landscape of the Žďár highlands, plus a tour of an exhibition of Antonín Šuman's iconic chairs in the hotel.
