The Vapenka Museum

A protected historical monument, an octagonal structure of a 19th century limeworks stone tower now features an octagonal museum. The seemingly ordinary stories of the locals are a reminder of the ambivalent history of the Krkonose, Bohemia, Europe and the whole world.

The modern exhibition presents short stories and photographs to present seven centuries of life in the Alberice valley. The archives of the Vesely vylet publishers provided 143 time photographs, most of which were never published. With the help of witnesses, the names of most of the people in the photographs were found and linked to specific events.

Keys to the exhibition can be borrowed daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the reception of the Pension Vápenka, Horní Albeřice 13.

Keys are issued only to persons of legal age who present a valid document and pay a refundable deposit of CZK 200 in cash.
