The building of the post and telegraph, today the district office

The first Machoň building in Pardubice, the Postal and Telegraph Directorate, one of his most beautiful functionalist works, served postal services until 1939, when it was occupied by the Germans who established the Oberlandrat (office of the high regional council) there, and where the notorious Pardubice Gestapo also had its headquarters until the end of the war. In 1949, the newly formed Pardubice Regional National Committee settled here, followed by the District National Committee after its dissolution and the district office after 1992. Today, the building is shared by the Pardubice City Hall and the Regional Office.
