Stará huť, Technical monument and steel mill in Adamov, Czech Republic.

Stará huť is a metal production facility in Adamov centered on a tall charcoal blast furnace called Františka, rising about 10 meters above a square base roughly 12 by 12 meters. The site also contains two limestone burning furnaces, a loading platform, and other structures from its working days.

Ironworking in the area dates back to the 8th–12th centuries, and a hammer forge called Althamr existed by the turn of the 16th century. The Františka blast furnace was founded in 1746 and by the 1780s supplied 7.5% of all Moravian iron; operations ended in 1877.

The furnace is named Františka, and the site is called Stará huť, "old ironworks". In the former modelling workshop from the early 19th century, now managed by the Technical Museum in Brno, a museum of ironmaking presents the site's trade.

The grounds are freely accessible and can be walked through; the ironworks museum in the former modelling workshop has its own opening times. The blast furnace, Švýcárna inn and loading ramps stand in Adamov's cadastre, while the two lime kilns lie in Olomučany's.

The Švýcárna building at the site is a former ironworks inn, not an ecological centre. The complex also holds a reconstruction area of Slavic iron smelting, where occasional demonstration smelts are run in early medieval bloomery furnaces.
