One of the two towers of the main train station was destroyed during the World War 2. Company “Brno new station development” is now organising a poll in which people decide whether to build the tower again or not.

Look at the train station without the second tower and how it would look like with the second tower.

The building is supposed to become a museum or a market after a new train station near Zvonařka st. will be built in the 2010s.
