Sokol House
The Novorenaissance building of the Příbram Sokol House was designed by the Příbram architect and builder Alois Eška. The cornerstone was laid in July 1902 and the grand opening was held as early as July 1903. In addition to the main grand hall with a stage and galleries and the smaller Fügner Hall, there were also rooms used by the Sokol society. In 1911 the Tyrš Hall was built, in which the cinema was set up in 1927. Sokol House didn´t only serve as a gym but also for local cultural activities. There were concerts, social gatherings and theatre performances.

In 1930-1931 another gym by architect František Krásný was constructed and the adjacent court was adapted for sports.
Liberty Monument was unveiled in 1927 to honour soldiers from Příbram who did not return from the battlefields of World War I. The design for the monument was drawn up by John Kotěra. The author of the sculpture of the young man cast in bronze is the Příbram sculptor Václav Šára.
