Slaný will have the former district house repaired, the library will move into it

Slaný – Slaný will repair the former district house, which will be relocated to the library. The grant intended for the restoration of so-called brownfields could cover up to half of the costs, which the city leadership currently estimates at approximately 80 million crowns. Another possibility is European subsidies. Similar to other city investments, the estimate has significantly increased due to rising market prices, in this case by about 30 million crowns. Work could ideally begin in about a year, said the mayor of Slaný, Martin Hrabánek (ODS), to ČTK.

The city is currently preparing grant applications and working on the project. "The building is sealed," Hrabánek stated. The actual repair will take about a year. In addition to the library, there will be representative spaces in the building, which will also serve the city hall, for example during weddings, welcoming newborns, or other ceremonial occasions. According to the mayor, a new café should also operate under the library's banner.

The Neo-Renaissance building of the Slaný district house was built in 1902. It stands at the corner of Dr. E. Beneš and Šultysova streets. The author of its design is architect Jan Vejrych. The District Governor's Office of Slaný resided in the building until 1918. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the District Office of the political district of Slaný was located here, and later the office of the same administrative district. At the end of the 20th century, the Czech Post was temporarily located in this building during the renovation of its own buildings.
