Abstract:
The brick kiln in the Korolupy cadastre was operated by the administration of the Uherčice estate as a manorial brickyard. In its current position, it is only the second brickyard on the estate; the older kiln stood behind the manorial granary. In the 1930s, a new brick kiln with continuous operation, the so-called zigzag kiln, was built here. The article deals with the history of bricklaying in Uherčice in the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century.
