PRÁDELNA: bringing local life back into over-touristed Český Krumlov.

• Open multifunctional space for activities, ideas and events.
• The Laundry is not precisely defined by its interior and does not have a clearly defined purpose. It allows you to be flexible and open to different actors and adapt to changing demand.
• for locals: public space under the roof – our clubhouse
• for visitors: a place where they can become part of events outside the tourism industry and experience something authentic

Český Krumlov, a picturesque South Bohemian town, is a must-see for every visitor to the Czech Republic. However, the steady stream of tourists has put a heavy strain on the daily life of its inhabitants. The result is that locals have moved out of the historic center, which sometimes feels like a museum for tourists to take selfies.

Our collective aims to breathe life back into our town, so we have reclaimed and continue to refurbish one of the last vacant buildings — the former industrial laundry (prádelna). Last year, Prádelna hosted 52 exciting events, and it is now a permanent beacon in Český Krumlov’s cultural landscape, attracting locals and visitors alike.

We encourage individuals, organizations, and groups to use this non-profit, multipurpose space to host concerts, film screenings, art installations, workshops, private gatherings, and club meetings. Check our calendar for open dates.
