Dům U Ferusů Building
Dům U Ferusů in České Budějovice is a classical building. It is an example of the suburban economic court, which was adapted in the 19th century for extensive boating business. The building is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. At present there is a territorial professional workplace of the National Heritage Institute.
It is assumed that there were originally two smaller farms of the Czech-Budějovice townspeople, which were connected in the 1960s under the joint owner. At the beginning of the 19th century, there was a structural connection. At this time, the front building, mainly used for living, acquired its classical form, which has been preserved to this day.
The architectural whole consists of storey and ground-floor buildings surrounding two closed yards. In the past, the court wings served economic functions.
The history of the building is closely linked to the Ferus family. Since 1874, there has been a company called Ferus. In 1890-1891 Antonín Ferus expanded the complex with a second back courtyard, which included storage facilities, horticulture, shed and new apartments. In 1929 a business room was added to the square. After 1951, the company headquarters of ČSAD was based there and since 1980 the Research Institute for the Narrowing of Agricultural Soils. Since 1995, the building has been used by the National Monument Institute, which in 2013 has placed its premises in the area of expertise.
The development of the building affected the expansion of industry and transport in the 19th century, which led to extensive bogie activity right here. Today, the building serves administrative purposes and the provision of services to the public, such as library or archive. The National Heritage Institute also organizes various events, including concerts, lectures, workshops or exhibitions.
This object is an important element of the historical development of transport and the economy in the region. We recommend to visit it as part of a tour of historical monuments of the city.
