People in Pavlov in the Břeclav region will see it until prehistoric times when visiting the archeopark. It was built directly underground in the place of a prehistoric settlement of mammoth hunters. The walk along the path called Kaple will end with a wine tasting in Mikulov. “The goal is to promote architecture and present specific buildings in a broader context. This year, we point out the interconnection of cities with municipalities, not only with regard to transport connections, but also on footpaths or paths through the countryside, “said Marcela Steinbachová, the festival’s founder and director.
The Brno University of Technology also took part in the preparation. A graduate of the local Faculty of Architecture, Marek Štěpán, will guide the recently opened church in Lesná, Brno, and introduce the sacred architecture of the twenty-first century to those interested. “Details about individual events can be found on the event’s website, but some parts of the program have limited capacity and it is necessary to register for them in advance.

In it, the Swiss architect focuses on sacral buildings, which he uses to approach each of them individually, ”outlined the daily curator Karolína Vacková to Deník Rovnost.
The festival will also focus on places connected with the work of the legendary architect Bohuslav Fuchs, who designs, among other things, the building of the current post office in Nádražní Street in Brno.
