14|15 Bata Institute
The industrial buildings with the Bata markings 14 and 15 have been transformed into the modern cultural and educational centre 14|15 BATA INSTITUTE. The Regional Gallery of Fine Arts, the Museum of South-East Moravia and the F. Bartos Regional Library are located here. One of the first places to go when visiting Zlín is undoubtedly 14|15 BATA INSTITUT, located on the edge of the former Bata factory complex. Although the edge could be better described as a “gateway” to the now fully vibrant industrial space.
But let’s go back to the beginning for a moment. Let’s go back to 1944, when buildings marked 14 and 15 already existed on the same site, but unfortunately that was also the year of their demise. In this war year, the aerial bombs did not avoid these buildings either and both had to go down completely after the end of the war. The 15th building waited for its resurrection only until 1947. In 1949, Building 14 was also completed. These two mirror-symmetrical buildings came from the pen of architect Jiří Voženílek and were directly designed for the needs of shoe production. After the Bata era, shoe production continued in the buildings under the Svit brand. And then it went downhill for many years, until 2008, when the completely devastated buildings were bought by the Zlín Region. However, if you are interested in the architecture and history of these buildings in more depth, be sure to check out the pages of the ZAM Zlín Architectural Manual.ˇ
After a costly reconstruction, cultural institutions of the Zlín Region have found a home in the renovated buildings. The 14|15 BAŤ INSTITUTE houses the Regional Art Gallery, the Museum of South-East Moravia and the František Bartos Regional Library.
By the Regional Art Gallery you should not imagine just a building with paintings and sculptures, but a place where art is alive. In addition to the permanent exhibitions and other events, the building houses two exhibition spaces, a permanent exhibition, a graphic cabinet and regularly hosts a Galefield for the little ones.
In the Museum of Southeast Moravia, you will find a unique permanent exhibition, The Bata Principle: Today Fantasy, Tomorrow Reality. You will also find here a shoe museum, an exhibition dedicated to the filmmaking beginnings of the Zlín film studios or the travelling discoveries of Mr. Hanzelka and Mr. Zikmund.
The František Bartos Library, the largest library in the Zlín Region, has finally found a dignified and much-needed home here. Those interested can find here more than half a million documents in various formats.
You will find the Red Brick Design Shop in the lobby of Building 15, full of designer clothes, handbags and jewellery. Dozens of Czech brands have taken up residence here, many of them coming directly from Zlín or the surrounding area.
It’s also worth visiting the 14I15 Bata Institute for the Regional Information Centre, which you’ll find right on the ground floor of the 14th building, where you can get valuable advice and materials before visiting the city as a tourist.
The varied cultural life does not only take place inside the 14th and 15th buildings, but very often also between them. The buildings are connected by a large concrete platform, which often hosts concerts and various open-air events.
14I15 The Bata Institute brings constant variety to the lives of Zlín’s residents and visitors, be it the aforementioned concerts or lectures, travel talks or festivals. Lovers of art, architecture and history will find their own here. Moreover, the permanent exhibitions provide a comprehensive view of the Bata phenomenon in Zlín. Before you do, be sure to find out what there is to see in Bata’s Zlín, preferably plan a weekend in Zlín.
Building 21, Zlín skyscraper

Administrative building No. 21 – the Zlín skyscraper
The administrative building number 21 of the Bata factories – the “Zlín skyscraper” is one of the top works of pre-war Czechoslovak functionalist architecture. With 16 floors and a height of 77.5 metres, it is the tallest building in Zlín. There is an observation deck with a stylish café on the roof of the building, which offers an unusual view of the city and its surroundings. The terrace is open to the public.
The 21st administrative building of the Bata company – the Zlín skyscraper was one of the first high-rise buildings in Europe and the tallest building in Czechoslovakia. It deservedly won the Building of the Century award together with the entire industrial complex of the former Bata factories. The building was built in 1936-1938 according to the design of architect Vladimír Karfík, who was the head of the design department of Bata’s factories in 1930-1946. It is situated in a traditional row of factory buildings, directly influencing the Square of Work, the northern side of which it closes, and thus became a typical landmark of the modern concept of the city.
In terms of layout, it is a three-tract building, designed on the same modular network (6.15 x 6.15 m) as the production buildings. The entire floor, measuring 80 x 20 metres, was a large office, mostly without partitions, where about 200 people worked. The work area remained clean, as both the vertical circulation (staircases with lifts) and the sanitary facilities and air-conditioning chambers were allocated outside this space. The structure of the building is reinforced concrete, the envelope is made up of steel double-glazed windows and brick lining with Nightingale tiles. You can visit the exhibition about the history of the Bata company on weekdays in the 8th floor.
A real technical treat is the air-conditioned elevator – the mobile office of J. A. Bata measuring 6 x 6 metres, equipped with air conditioning, telephone and washbasin. This masterpiece of the architect V. Karfík is today a national cultural monument of the functionalism period.

Tomas Bata Memorial
The Memorial to Tomáš Bat’a closes the ascending park avenue between the dormitories. According to the original design, the whole complex was to contain a group of buildings of a study and educational character, culminating in a museum building on the park axis. However, the plans were changed by the sudden death of the founder of the shoe empire, who died in 1932 shortly after take-off from nearby Otrokovice during a planned aerial work trip to Möhlin, Switzerland.
The memorial was built in place of the museum and only two of the eight study institutes (1936-1938) were built, which were architecturally connected to the memorial building. The typical skeleton of a production building with a variable storey layout was also used here. The architect Gahura used the strength of the reinforced concrete skeleton to create an interesting interior and exterior design with impressive smooth continuous glazed surfaces.
The Memorial of Tomáš Bat’a is the most impressive architectural work of F. L. Gahura, a modern paraphrase of the buildings of the High Gothic period: only a support system and coloured stained glass windows, only a reinforced concrete skeleton and glass. In its first ten years, it was visited by 1.5 million people.
However, it ceased to serve its mission in November 1944, when the glass shell was severely damaged during the wartime bombing of Zlín. Cultural activities (already under the name of the renamed House of Art) were restored in June 1948, with the opening of the XI. Zlín Salon.
The building was rebuilt in 1954-1955 by the academic architect J. Staša to serve simultaneously the Workers’ Philharmonic and the Regional Art Gallery Gottwaldov for more than 55 years. The House of Art (originally the Tomáš Bat’a Memorial) was entered into the Central List of Immovable Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic in 1985.
When considering the restoration of the Tomáš Bat’a Memorial, it was thought of in a European and global context. The conclusions of the October 2006 expert conference were unequivocal – to return the Memorial to its original form and ideological function, with the proviso that the use should be adapted to the building, not the other way around.
Present
These conclusions were approved by the Zlín City Council in 2011 and in 2012-2014 an architectural study of the restoration was created on the basis of these conclusions. The Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic Orchestra in Zlín acquired new premises in the Congress Centre, the Regional Art Gallery in the building 14|15 of the Bata Institute. In 2013, the name of the building was returned to the Tomáš Bat’a Memorial.
The demanding restoration was carried out in 2016-2018, financed by the Ministry of Culture, proceeds from the public collection and the City of Zlín. The latter, together with the Bata family, the town of Möhlin and other major donors approached by the Tomáš Bata Foundation, also contributed financially to the realisation of the main exhibit, a monumental replica of the JU F13 aircraft. An architectural icon and the pinnacle of Gahur’s urban design work has reopened its doors to the public.

Hrad Malenovice: Architektonický a kultúrny klenot Zlínska s bohatou históriou
Hrad Malenovice, situovaný v malebnej krajine len 6 km od Zlína, predstavuje významný historický a architektonický komplex, ktorý odráža vývoj regiónu od stredoveku po novovek. Založený v polovici 14. storočia moravským markgrófom Jánom Jindřichom, hrad prešiel v priebehu storočí premenami, ktoré z pôvodnej gotickej pevnosti vytvorili renesančné sídlo zámockého typu.
Architektonicky sa hrad Malenovice vyznačuje kombináciou gotických, renesančných a barokových prvkov, ktoré svedčia o jeho bohatej stavebnej histórii. Návštevníci môžu obdivovať neskorogotickú klenbu Maľovaného sálu, barokové maľby v domácej kaplnke sv. Antona Paduánskeho a renesančné detaily v interiéroch. Hradná veža, ktorá bola sprístupnená verejnosti, ponúka panoramatické výhľady na okolitú krajinu, čo umožňuje návštevníkom nahliadnuť na strategický význam hradu v minulosti.
Kultúrne dedičstvo hradu Malenovice je prezentované prostredníctvom bohatých expozícií, ktoré zahŕňajú historické interiéry, zbierku hodín a zbraní a expozíciu Drevo – prútie – slama v objekte hájovne pred hradom. Táto expozícia predstavuje tradičné ľudové remeslo a dokumentuje výrobné postupy, ktoré svedčia o zručnosti a dôvtipe vidieckych tvorcov.
Hrad Malenovice sa stal v priebehu storočí sídlom mnohých šľachtických rodov, vrátane Tetourov z Tetova, Lichtenštajn-Kastelkornov, Salm-Neuburgov a Šternberkov, ktorí zanechali v jeho histórii výraznú stopu. V roku 1953 získalo hrad Múzeum juhovýchodnej Moravy v Zlíne, ktoré sa zaslúžilo o jeho obnovu a sprístupnenie verejnosti.
Počas návštevnej sezóny sa na hrade konajú rôzne kultúrne podujatia, vrátane koncertov, divadelných predstavení a vystúpení skupín historického šermu, ktoré oživujú historickú atmosféru hradu a priťahujú návštevníkov zo širokého okolia.
Hrad Malenovice je ideálnym cieľom pre milovníkov histórie, architektúry a kultúry, ktorí hľadajú kombináciu poznania a estetického zážitku. Návšteva tohto historického komplexu umožňuje nahliadnuť do bohatej minulosti regiónu a zároveň sa ponoriť do krásy okolitej krajiny.
Svatá voda, pilgrimage site Kaménka

Pilgrimage Site Kaménka, Svatá voda
The pilgrimage site Svatá voda – Malenovice is located 7 km from Zlín. The local well has a reputation of healing water. The well is covered with a stone vault. Above it is a steep slope, in which a rock cave with a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes is located. We learn from the history of the pilgrimage site, which is also referred to as a place of excursion, that already Saints Cyril and Methodius preached and baptized here. People began to notice that sincere prayer and washing with spring water gave mental and physical refreshment. Help was mainly sought here by mothers of small sick children who hung children’s shirts on trees in gratitude for hearing their pleas.
The first chapel mentioned in history is the forest chapel from 1854, built by Josef Buksa from Šelešovice, who thanked the Virgin Mary for healing him from blindness. In the chapel there was placed a picture of Our Lady of Provodov.
The stoneware statue of Our Lady of Lourdes was erected above the spring in 1902 and later moved to a niche in the rock. There were more and more pilgrims with music and priests from Slovácko, Wallachia and Haná. The project of a small pilgrimage church was drawn up in 1933, but its construction did not take place. Instead of a general overhaul of the original chapel in 1963, a new chapel was built in two days thanks to the efforts of the then spiritual administrator of Malenovice, P. Vojtěch Krále, and especially thanks to the extremely courageous dedication of the parishioners from Lhota u Malenovic. At this time, the Lourdes cave and the surroundings of the spring were also renovated.
Pilgrim processions with music have been banned since the 1950s. Only the parish of Lhota u Malenovic was allowed to march with music every year, because the procession through the forest “did not disturb anyone and did not interfere with traffic”.
The common pilgrimage is held on the first Sunday in September and its continuity has never been interrupted.

Town Hall Napajedla
The town hall was built in 1904 under the design of Dominik Fey from Uherské Hradiště. The impetus for this construction was, among other things, the promotion of Napajedel to a town in 1898. The town hall was built in the pseudo-Renaissance style. Important Moravian artists were invited to decorate the building. Franta Uprka is the author of the statue of St. George placed between the windows on the first floor. The dial of the tower clock was designed by Jano Köhler. The interior of the town hall is also richly decorated. There are rich stained glass windows, paintings in the meeting room and wooden tiles. During important cultural events, the town hall tower is open to view the city (St.Wenceslas Festival, Open Monuments Day, European Heritage Days). Opposite the town hall is the Church of St. Bartholomew, with majestic staircases leading up to it.

Church of St. Bartholomew
Opposite the Old Castle is the Baroque building of the Rectory, which was built in the 1780s and forms a single complex with the Church of St. Bartholomew, which is reached by a majestic staircase lined with statues of national saints. The church was completed in 1712 and is one of the region’s most important religious monuments. The church was built between 1710 and 1712 and some of the structural elements and statues from the old church were used in its construction, such as the stone statues of St. Peter and St. Paul placed in the front of the church. There is a coat of arms of the Rotal family above the portal of the main entrance, held by two angels, and the year of completion of the construction in 1712. There are two Renaissance tombstones of Friedrich and Bartholomew of Žerotín on the sides of the main entrance, dated 1568.
The wooden statues of the apostles (St. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were transferred from the old church. The altarpiece of the Passion of St. Bartholomew is the work of Fr. Kančić from 1809. The stained glass windows above the chancel date from the end of the last century. There are now two bells in the church tower. The most extensive renovation of the interior was carried out at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
