The Ministry of Defense is currently selling 52 unnecessary real estate. There are 32 completely new offers, including 22 buildings of the former border fortifications. The minimum required purchase price together is more than CZK 32 million, according to Jiří Caletka from the ministry’s press department.
A further announcement is planned to publish another offer on September 22.
The Ministry considers the most interesting plots of land with an area of 0.3 and 0.35 hectares in Prague-Michle and a plot of land with an area of approximately half a hectare north of Žatec on the edge of the strategic industrial zone Triangle. For sale is also a plot of land with a building in the part of Ploužnice pod Ralskem called Hvězdov near the local ponds and areas with new family houses and recreational facilities.
The offer also includes a set of six plots of land about a kilometer northeast of Jičín near a park called Libosad. For the first time, there are also three new plots of land near Rožmitál pod Třemšínem or two plots of land in the Řečkovice cadastre in Brno with an area of 1,800 square meters. “The new plot of land near the D46 motorway, which has an area of 0.6 hectares and is adjacent to Vyškov Airport, is also interesting,” said Caletka.
However, there is a growing interest in the former border fortifications. In Moravia, there are nine fortresses for sale with their own land in the locality of Sedlec near Mikulov and two fortresses in the locality of Pohořelice. In the Czech Republic, the resort offers three fortresses near the village of Očihov near Podbořany in the Louny region.
In Silesia, people can buy seven new fortifications in the localities of Košetice, Opava-Kateřinky, Opava-Komárov and Velké Hoštice and three repeatedly advertised fortifications near Horní Životice. These fortifications stand on foreign lands, the owners of which have not shown interest in the transfer. “Apart from the small fortifications mentioned, which are also called aspen, this time there is also one heavy fortification building on offer in the Náchod region,” Caletka said.
Defense gets rid of unnecessary real estate every year. The offers are dominated by land or bunkers of fortifications from the period of the First Republic. The former fortifications of Czechoslovakia are still considered real estate intended for the defense of the state, and the Ministry of Defense is therefore in charge of managing them.
In 2005, the ministry decided that the fortifications would be transferred to the owners of the land below them free of charge. If they were not interested in them, they could get them for free from military history clubs or the surrounding villages. Another option is to sell them. According to the Department of Disposal of Unnecessary Property of the Ministry of Defense, transfers of fortifications began on a larger scale in 2008.
