Prague - The Ministry of Culture has declared part of the Freight Station Žižkov a cultural monument. The decision is not yet legally binding, as the landowner, Czech Railways, has appealed the decision. This was reported by Radio Czech. Developers want to build apartments and offices on the site of the station, against which heritage protectors and local civic associations are protesting.

Heritage protectors want to repair and preserve the functionalist industrial building for future generations. Developers are seeking to construct new apartments. The station buildings and infrastructure have been deteriorating for nearly nine years.
The Ministry of Culture began assessing whether the freight station could become a monument last June. The declaration process was initiated based on a proposal submitted by the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ) as early as 2003.
In the proposal to declare the station a monument, the ministry wrote that it selected the most valuable parts of the proposed complex, found the NPÚ's proposal to be justified, and initiated proceedings, at the end of which the station buildings could become a cultural monument.
