He just wanted a hall for tractors. He bought a ruin of a brick factory and saved a unique piece that has no equivalent.

Miroslav Boček purchased an old brick factory in Boubín in 2021, aiming to restore it rather than build anew. Initially unaware of the challenges, he discovered the site was one of the best-preserved historical brickworks in the Czech Republic. The restoration process began in 2022, revealing extensive damage and requiring significant effort to stabilize and restore the structures. Boček learned about the historical significance of the site and the labor-intensive nature of brick production. He plans to use the restored facility for agricultural purposes and public events, emphasizing the importance of preserving its historical character. His efforts earned him an award from the National Heritage Institute for the restoration in 2026.
