#Public swimming pool #Brno #1930
Description
Summer in Brno, it's hot and you love the architecture of the interwar period? Then you have to go there! Today, only the summer pool is accessible to visitors. It is located in the northern part of the former spa centre. It is surrounded by seating stands and sunbathing lawns. The building wing on the western side houses the locker rooms and toilets, and roofs for sunbathing on the terrace.
The former winter spa with swimming pools and further areas is located at the main entrance on Zábrdovická Street. It has been closed in the 1980s and is falling into disrepair, so the external impression of the baths is not the best today. The building of the winter bath consists of a reinforced concrete construction, which was only filled with bricks and not plastered. This aesthetic ties in with industrial architecture.
The spa was built to provide people a possibility to wash themselves, as not every flat and not even every house around 1930 had its own bathroom. The plans for this spa date from 1929, it was finished in 1931 and it is one out of many examples of the architect's buildings for the social infrastructure of Brno.
