Ржетизкарна – Дом цепей, Former prison changing room in Jachymov, Czech Republic.
The prison changing facility features concrete walls and metal grids, connected to uranium mines through a wire-fenced tunnel system.
Established in 1949, the building served as a changing room for political prisoners who worked in uranium mines until 1961.
The changing room stands as a memorial of forced labor during the communist regime, where prisoners marked with red crosses extracted uranium.
The structure requires significant restoration work estimated at 20 million Czech crowns to transform into a community center.
Prisoners called the wire-fenced tunnel connecting the facility to mines the Alley of Lost Hopes.
