Old wastewater treatment plant

Tour takes 60 minutes

1 hour | Tour

 

Explore the premises of the former wastewater treatment plant. Visitors will see the original premises with the remains of the original technological equipment - both for the own wastewater treatment and related operations (e.g. sludge management) and for ensuring the propulsion of machines (steam engine room and boiler room). We recommend good footwear and warmer clothing to visitors even in the summer months.

During the visit you will also see copies of the original plans and historical photographs from the construction of the treatment plant. Part of the tour route is also a film documentary from 1943. During each tour, visitors will pass through the original sewer (now non-functional). For those deeply interested in the history of technical buildings and especially Prague's sewage system, there is also a historical film documentary Men below Prague from 1947.
