Kroměříž Public Library, part two: bomb shelter


Underneath the library (which was previously a cinema hall) is a bomb shelter built during the Cold War. The shelter was intended for high-ranking government officials only and the general public was not aware of its existence.



Though very stark, the shelter is self-sufficient, with air and water systems. Most documentation of the structure is gone, so not much is actually known about its creation. It is known that it was never used (the need never arose, obviously).
