Hasičské muzeum v Sedlci
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming village of Sedlec, just a stone's throw from Plzeň, is this absolute gem of a museum that's all about firefighting. You wouldn't believe the sheer amount of history packed in here, from hand-pumped carts that look like they're from a fairytale to the hulking, beautifully restored red trucks from the 20th century. It’s the kind of place where you can spend hours marveling at the craftsmanship and bravery these machines represent. The passion of the people who put this together is just palpable everywhere you look.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is a stunning 19th-century horse-drawn steam pumper, but don't miss the collection of historic helmets and the old alarm systems. Seeing the evolution of gear and equipment up close is genuinely fascinating.
Visitor Information
It's best to check their website or call ahead for opening hours since it's often run by dedicated volunteers. It's a fantastic, affordable stop if you're exploring the Plzeň region.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic, unassuming Czech building that feels perfectly authentic, almost like an old fire station itself.
