Our Mission

Kulturni Stanice is a non-profit organisation created in 2018, an independent and self-managed/funded organisation.

Brief History: From 1910 to the spring of 2012 the building served as a railway station. The route from Prague to Plzen was upgraded, Zbiroh Station was subsequently replaced by Karez station. On the 12th of April 2012 the building was put under historical protection. The building was then sold by the railway company (České dráhy) through open tender, November 14th 2014 contracts were exchanged. On March 12th 2018 the new owner in conjunction with locals created this foundation.

This website is being built by volunteers that have arrived at the station through the workaway project. The foundation has been given a donation of 2500 Euros by world life experience. Thank you WLE.
