Krajský úřad Libereckého kraje, Public administration building in Perštýn, Czech Republic
The Liberec Region Regional Office is a 21-storey administrative tower in Perštýn, 78 m tall (84 m with antenna), designed by Zdeněk Plesník for the State Textile Research Institute. Its facade parapets split each floor visually, making the building appear to have twice as many storeys.
Designed by architect Zdeněk Plesník for the State Textile Research Institute, the tower was built from 1967 and completed in 1976. During construction a US-origin method was used that poured several floors at once. A four-year reconstruction for the regional authority began in 2000, altering the entrance, interior and windows.
The building houses the Liberec Region office and the regional assembly, and part of it is occupied by the European House (Evropský dům). Its paternoster lift from 1971, with 35 wooden cabins and 16 stops, runs continuously and carries up to 480 people an hour.
The office is located at U Jezu 642/2a and is accessible during weekday hours. Visitors can access various administrative services and reach the departments they need to contact at this single address.
The building's paternoster lift, installed in 1971, is the tallest in the Czech Republic: 56.8 m high, with 35 wooden cabins and 16 stops. It runs continuously and can carry 480 people per hour, with a maximum load of 5.6 tonnes.
