Modern Architecture

Automatic Mills

One of the major industrial buildings of the dawn of the 20th century is also interesting architecturally speaking, since it was designed by one of the best-known Czech architects of all time, Josef Gocar. It can be found in the Mezi Mosty Street.

Astronomic observatory of Baron Artur Kraus

It provides not only astronomical observation for general public, but also proffesional lectures, astronomy club for children and other actions focused on astronomy. It is situated in Gorkeho Street.

Pardubice floodgate

Kind of like London Barrier, it has moveable weir and diversion dam for altering the water level, making electricity and protecting the city against the floods. On the top of the structure there is a pedestrian bridge over the Elbe river from which it can be observed. It can be found in the Labska Street, near the junction of the Elbe and Chrudimka rivers.
