Post Court
Poštovní dvůr (Post Court) was built by local postmaster Josef Korb in 1791 to serve as a horse exchange station for mail coaches. The station later became an important social centre. On 20 July 1894, it was the venue of the European premiere of Dvořák's New World Symphony. The building houses Labitzky's Hall from 1791, the Prussian Hall from 1818, a popular restaurant, a wine room with a vinotheque, as well as a dance and garden pavilion.
