Gočár-designed mill building in Pardubice opens after major renovation

Pardubice’s Automatic Mills (Automatické mlýny) building – one of the most famous works by the pioneering Czech architect and designer Josef Gočár – has been reopened as a multifunctional public space after a CZK 900 million renovation job.

The complex now contains two galleries, a café, a hall and other facilities. Officials in the East Bohemian city say they hope the building by the Chrudimka River will prove a major draw with visitors.
