History
Original ZOO corner was established in 1965 by Zdenek Sokolnicek. It was solemny open for public on 8th August 1965. The whole complex was built on surface of dimensions 30x15 metres, by means of volunteers. Originally, approx. 20 sorts of animals lived here. From the very beginning, the ZOO was specialized for primitive and originally household animals. Later, in 1972, this ZOO corner was enlarged of 1,6 ha (estate of school mansion). Within 1980 - 1990, there was an idea to close this ZOO corner. Nevertheless, after arrival of Joseph Kachlík in 1991, the intention of modern ZOO was realized, according to Berlin ZOO model.
