U Apolináře Hospital, originally known as the Royal Provincial Maternity Hospital, first opened its doors on April 22, 1875. Designed by renowned architect Josef Hlávka, its iconic red-brick building is one of the oldest maternity hospitals in Europe. Hlávka, known for his attention to detail, designed the facility to be not only functional but also aesthetically striking. The red brick façade lends the building its distinctive historic character.
At the time of its opening, the hospital was designed to handle up to 3,000 births annually.
