Pardubice Crematorium (Czech: Krematorium Pardubice) is a crematorium in Pardubice, Czech Republic. It was designed by the Czech architect Pavel Janák in the Czech Art Deco style and built between 1921 and 1923.[1] The project came from a tender that was opened at the end of 1918 and took place in 1919. Janák's project was chosen from 81 architectonical designs.[2]
The design of the crematorium was influenced by old Slavic mythology and the concept of ancient Christian basilicas.[3] Janák was inspired by Peter Behrens' conception of the crematorium in Hagen.[4]
