Vodní elektrárna královského města Písku

Awesome place for geeks, nerds and fans of steampunk and vintage machines!

The Municipal Power Plant in Písek is one of The oldest functioning hydroelectric power plant in the Czech Republic. The power plant was exhibited by František Křižík on June 23, 1887. Písek thus became the first town in Bohemia with permanent public electric lighting. It was put into operation on 31 August 1888 in the premises of the then Podskalský mill. The building, including machinery, is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Two Francis turbines continue to work here on exposure. Opening hours: April to October daily except Monday 9.00–12.00 and 13.00–16.00 (in July and August until 18.00). Admission for adults is 100 CZK. it may seem too much to someone. It was very adequate for me. it is necessary to draw attention to the photo fee.

Very interesting museum - it is a working oldschool power plant. If you are an engineer, you must see it.

Super

It's an oldest power plant in the Czech Republic, so if you are nearby, you must see this place!
