Dětský domov Dagmar, Children's residential care facility in Žabovřesky district, Brno, Czech Republic.
Dětský domov Dagmar is a residential facility for children placed by court order, housed in a two-story structure designed by architect Bohuslav Fuchs with a central hallway dividing the building into three separate wings. The residence contains living quarters and support spaces organized to serve the needs of its young residents.
Founded in 2001 as an independent organization, this facility carries forward a tradition of child care services that began in Brno during the early 1900s. The work reflects decades of experience in supporting children through institutional care.
This residential care community bears the name of Queen Dagmar of Denmark, honoring her commitment to helping people in need and reflecting historical values rooted in the region. The daily life within the building shows how care and support shape the rhythm of the household.
The facility is located in the Žabovřesky district of Brno and is accessible by local transportation from the city center. Visitors should confirm visiting arrangements and availability in advance before planning to call or visit.
A major renovation in 2006 transformed the interior from traditional dormitory-style rooms into a family-oriented living arrangement while keeping the exterior appearance intact. This redesign created more personal and comfortable spaces for residents to live in.
