Description
City Slaughterhouse is a fascinating historical monument in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Built in 1881, the city's slaughterhouse was transformed into a vibrant cultural and artistic center after years of industrial service.
It now houses the PLATO art gallery, which combines industrial heritage with modern art. The building impresses with its rich architectural ornamentation - ornate cornices, pilasters and window frames.
A unique element is the rotating walls, which change the perception of the interior space. This remarkable example of 'moving architecture' was recognized with a nomination for the prestigious Mies van der Rohe Prize.
