DOV presents
Who are we?
Dolní Vítkovice - an association of legal entities, was
founded in 2007 with the aim of opening up its urban
industrial heritage. The project's main goal is the
redevelopment of the Dolní Vítkovice site (where coal
was mined and crude iron was produced between
1828 and 1998) but also the neighbouring mine
Hlubina, the mining museum in Landek Park and
the industrial building Trojhalí Karolina (the chief).
The brains behind these projects are Jan Světlík, a
chief of Vítkovice engineering together with Josef
Pleskot and his AP Atelier studio, who is in charge of
architectural coordination.
What do we do?
With the help of numerous public institutions, members, partners and teammates we take areas that
were once throbbing with heavy machinery and turn
them into places throbbing with life. Excursions by
experts and enthusiasts take the skip hoist to the
Blast Furnace 1. Expert conferences, seminars, vocational and educational debates, cultural and social
gatherings take place in the former gasholder turned
into an auditorium Gong. School trips or families vi-

Park ride the same railway through the very
pit where miners once toiled.
What is our goal?
To set up and run a unique trans-regional,
educational, cultural and social centre open
every day to all, whether small, old or young,
local or from far away, nursery school toddlers, university students or foreign tourists;
with the capacity and top facilities to host
giant congresses and international conferences; where suburb events will attract
families and friends.

The Ironworks were named after the owner as
Rudolf’s Ironworks and were founded in Vítkovice in
1828. The Hlubina Mine, the coke plant and the blast
furnaces made up a unique complex - from coal mining through the processing plant to the production
of crude iron, the only of its kind in Europe. Almost

42 million tons of coke were produced here and 200
million tons of raw materials were used. The Anselm
Mine in Landek Park was in production from 1835
to 1992 and became the longest-serving black coal

TOWER
A unique, more than 20 metres high blast furnace
extension. A helix extends the VP1 guided tour to the
height of 80 metres. Besides the amazing view of
Beskydy and surroundings the tower also boasts of a
café and a club where students will head for technical
education. The educational guided tour shows every step
of the iron making process in the eerie, glowing bowels
of the blast furnaces. Visitors are today “loaded” into the
skip hoist to begin their journey along the production line
in much the same way that raw materials were in the
past.
