Semín aqueduct

The Semín aqueduct is a concrete structure in the Semín area of the Pardubice region, measuring 13.5 meters long and 7 meters wide. It functioned as part of a water distribution system that carried water across the landscape.

The structure was built during a period when concrete became a favored modern building material for large infrastructure projects. It marks a shift in how the Czech region developed its water supply systems.

The structure shapes how the village relates to its water supply, showing methods that communities developed to move water across the landscape. It stands as a reminder of the practical solutions that kept settlements functioning.

The structure is accessible year-round and located in the rural Pardubice region where visitors can view it. Good walking shoes are recommended as the surrounding terrain may be uneven.

The structure was among the first applications of concrete rather than stone for water infrastructure in the region. This choice allowed for faster construction and easier maintenance than traditional methods.
