History

The only tram shelter that is left in Brno from that time. The lighting in the evening gives the tram shelter its special charm. It is therefore also a rare, but all the more valuable relict when architects tried to give cities, that became bigger and faster some functional buildings with its own "big city" aesthetics.

Until 2017 the shelter has been renovated.
