Sladovna Settlement
Sladovna (in German Sladownia) is a former suburb in Kroměříži in Zlín Region. It originated northwest of the historic heart of the city, outside the Mlýn gate, in the place of the older Sladovnik suburb. The unique character of the settlement was determined by the side arm of Moravia, which divided it into two parts. Although this shoulder was later lost, its historic route can be traced today in the line Resjlo Street, which was turning northeast through today's tennis courts to the Podzamecká Garden.
The urban structure of Sládovna consisted of two clearly separated parts. South of the water arm spread out its own suburb with a cluster building - the street Na Kopekku, Spa, Chobot and Free. There was a two-way street north of the stream on the Slavna. However, the catastral area was considerably more extensive and complex. It included the Podzamecká garden, the main part of the street Malý val, the eastern front of Kojetín Street and the northern part of the Square of Peace. Around the historic town it spread out all the way to the street Bozuslav, containing the road (today's streets on May 1st and Tovačovský) and the fortification area, which remained unbuilt in the first third of the 19th century. Later in the 20th century, this terrain zone was called the Trench.
The decisive change occurred in 1858 when the cadastral territory of Sladovna was abolished and attached to the town cadastral. This area was urbanised in the second half of the 19th century. A historic building appeared in the streets of May 1 and Tovacovský. But the old suburb outside the Mlyn gate kept more of its suburban character.
Church institutions have played a key role in the development of Sladovna. In the street of Mala Wall was built already in 1844 the monastery of the merciful sisters of St. Vincent, which included the hospital. The area has been expanding several times over time. There were also buildings in the area of Archbishop's Gymnasium.
Sladovna is rich in sights. These include the Podzámecká Garden, the Bishop Mint and the Bishop Brewery. Of the other artifacts, it's worth mentioning Maximilian's water pipeline. The artistic heritage of the area is represented by two sculptures by Jean Baptiste Dieussard - the statue of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary and the sculpture of the Parting of Christ with the Virgin Mary.
Today Sladovna is part of Kroměříže. Its historical elements and architectural layers provide insight into the complex history of this place and its development from the suburbs to the urban area.

Sladovna is a former suburb of Kroměříž, known in German as Sladownia. Under the name Kroměříž Sladovna, it formed an independent cadastral territory until 1858.
The suburb emerged to the northwest of the city, in front of the Mlýnská gate, and connected with the older Sladovnické suburb. It consisted of two parts, which were separated from each other by one of the side branches of the Morava river. This branch later disappeared. It flowed roughly in the places of today's Resslovy street, then turned northeast and through the areas where the tennis courts are today, it headed into the Podzámecká zahrada.
South of the branch lay the actual suburb with clustered buildings. Today, streets Na Kopečku, Lázeňská, Chobot and Volného lead through here. Beyond the water course stood two-sided street buildings, today's street Na Sladovnách.
However, the Sladovna cadastre was much more extensive. Most of the Podzámecká zahrada belonged to it, the buildings of Malý val street, the eastern side of Kojetínská street and the northern part of Míru square. In addition, a narrow strip wound around almost the entire historic city all the way to the end of Blahoslavova street. In this strip ran a road, today's Prvního máje and Tovačovského streets, and the pre-fortress space lay here, which was still not built up in the first third of the 19th century. In the first half of the 20th century, this suburban ring was called Příkopy.
In 1858, the cadastral territory was abolished and its area fell to the cadastre of the city. In the second half of the 19th century, the former Sladovna cadastre became urbanized. A city street with historicizing buildings was created, today's Prvního máje and Tovačovského streets. The suburb itself in front of the Mlýnská gate, however, largely retained its suburban character.
Already in 1844, a complex of the convent of the Sisters of Mercy of Saint Vincent with a hospital was established in Malý val street, which was later expanded several times. Buildings of the Archbishop's gymnasium are also located on this street.
A number of landmarks lie on the territory of former Sladovna. They include the Podzámecká zahrada, the Bishop's Mint, the Bishop's Brewery and Maxmilian's aqueduct. We also find two sculptural groups by Jean Baptiste Dieussard here, the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary and the Farewell of Christ with the Virgin Mary.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring In the spring months, Sladovna in Kroměříži turns into a magical garden where nature awakens and the sun's rays intersect between flowers and greenery. Warm but still unstable weather creates a pleasant atmosphere, ideal for walking around a vast area. There is also a soft, scattered light that highlights the details of historical buildings and creates fine, pastel shades in the photographs. A visit is recommended in March or April when there are fewer tourists than in the summer months, and the park is covered with first flowers. Practical advice includes comfortable shoes for uneven terrain and light clothes that protect against occasional rain. The best time is the afternoon when the sun shines directly into the interiors and creates pleasant warmth.
Summer In the summer months Sladovna is alive and full of sunshine, when visitors can look forward to full flowers and green meadows. Warm days and longer daylight allow tours until late afternoon, while evening walks are especially pleasant. There is also a specific increase in noise, especially in the high summer season, when families and children come here. It is recommended to come early in the morning to avoid crowds, and to bring enough water and sun protection. Light, breathable clothes and hat are essential, while in interiors where it is often cold, it is advisable to carry a light sweater.
Autumn Autumn brings the magic of golden leaves to Sladovna and a quieter atmosphere where nature grows on colors and the air is cleaner. Mild temperatures and sunny days create ideal conditions for photography, especially in November when leaves turn into shades of orange and red. A quiet environment is also specific where visitors can focus on the details of architecture without disturbing noise. It is recommended to visit in September or October when there are fewer people and the park is still beautiful. Warm but not too heavy clothing is suitable, as well as waterproof jackets, because rainy days are not rare. The best time is the afternoon when the sun shines directly into the interiors and creates a pleasant light.
Winter In the winter months, Sladovna will turn into a quiet and mysterious place where snow cover and grey sky provide a special atmosphere to historic buildings. Freezing days and short lights create dramatic lighting that emphasizes the details of architecture and creates contrast effects in the photos. A quiet environment is also specific, where visitors can concentrate on the tour without distracting. A visit is recommended in December when the park is covered with snow and opening time is shorter. Hot, layered clothes and solid shoes are essential as well as warm drinks that can be purchased on the premises. The best time is the afternoon when light is strong enough for photography, but not too cold yet.
