Mestsky Pivovar (Municipal Brewery), Cesky Krumlov
The Municipal Brewery, which is now the Egon Schiele Art Centrum, is a historic Renaissance building that was once home to a brewery established by the municipality. Located on Siroka Street this complex consists of two houses.
The second building, Siroka no. 71, was created through a Renaissance reconstruction of medieval houses between 1578 and 1605. The design was attributed to the Italian architect Domenico Benedetto Cometa from Eckthurm, with construction overseen by Hans Haas. Later, in 1875-1876, the building at Siroka no. 70 was attached after undergoing its own reconstruction and served as a refrigerator. Additional structures were added on Hradebni Street in the 1870s, leading to a complex of interconnected buildings.
The brewery commenced operations in 1605 and continued brewing until 1949 when it ceased production. After the brewery's closure, the site was repurposed as a warehouse. In 1993, the Egon Schiele Art Center was established within these historic walls. The center features a permanent exhibition dedicated to the life and work of the artist Egon Schiele and has gained international recognition as a highly visited cultural institution in Cesky Krumlov.
