The Hotel Morava in Tatrzańska Łomnica reopened after a year‑and‑a‑half renovation that retained its 1930s functionalist architecture while adding modern amenities. In Košice, the 15th‑century Miklušova prison complex began a €2 million overhaul funded by EU, state and municipal sources, with archaeological work uncovering artifacts. A separate effort reinforced the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Trepcu after earthquake damage. A week later, the Czech Republic reported similar initiatives. Plus One Architects finished a careful renovation of a two‑century‑old chalet in the Vysočina region, preserving original stone walls and installing modern climate control. In Opava, the glass dome of the early‑Republican Breda department store is being restored, maintaining the historic façade while updating the interior for contemporary use.
