Popis Prior to the First World War there was a wide range of buildings used for cultural purposes.1 Apart from theatre buildings, defned by their mono-functionality, these included what were known as national houses (národní dům), built by the bourgeoisie from the 1870s in the spirit of Czech and German nationalism, and, from the end of the century onwards, the workers’ and Catholic houses associated with increasingly important social movements. In addition to these, we should not overlook the buildings housing credit unions (záložna) and the Sokol and Turner gymnasiums, which also stood in as cultural spaces and which are primarily associated with nationalism and the bourgeoisie. The chapter examines them in terms of function, style, nationalism and their "second life" after World War I.
