Hostan, Cultural monument brewery building in Znojmo, Czech Republic.
The Hostan building combines functionalist and historicist architectural elements, featuring a steam boiler house and extensive underground storage cellars for beer production.
Beer production at this location began in 1278 when Roman King Rudolf I granted brewing rights, with the current structure established in 1720 in Znojmo's first castle courtyard.
The building now contains an exhibition of the National Agricultural Museum, displaying technological equipment from 1930 manufactured by Škoda plants in Pilsen.
The former brewery complex includes guided tours through the manufacturing facilities, where visitors can examine a preserved decanting vat with video presentations.
The brewery maintained production until 2009, when operations transferred to Brno following acquisition by Heineken, leaving behind complete industrial brewing equipment from the 1930s.
