Description
...because if you come from the train or bus station, you either don't see the small building or you only see it from the back. But even from the front, you first have to think about what it might have used for. The two columns with their rounded shape in the upper area are very revealing that this small building could date back to the interwar period. There is almost nothing to be found on the internet. But a group of car enthusiasts left a short information that no bistro for food was housed here, but a "petrol bistro". The light architecture of this petrol station becomes clearer if you imagine, that the recessed wall on the left and the low walls at the entrance is not there.

History
The year 1935 was mentioned as a possible year of construction, but we are not sure. In the interwar period, there were two major competitors in the petrol station business in Czechoslovakia: Fanto vs Bratři Zikmundové. We do not know which chain this petrol station belonged to. Historical photographs suggest that this petrol station with its construction may have belonged to Fanto.
