A timeless District in the heart of Olomouc

Olomouc is entering a new era of urbanism. Behind the curtain of everyday hustle and bustle, a project that goes beyond the ordinary has been born in the heart of Olomouc. This mysterious place, where history combines with ground-breaking design and innovative thinking, promises not only to change the face of the city but also to open a gateway to the future.

On the banks of the Mlýnský Stream, the Šantovka District is emerging – a new city centre full of secrets and stories waiting to be explored. This project is not just a collection of buildings; it is a magical space where lives, dreams and ambitions come together. A place where history intertwines with a modern lifestyle, creating a unique blend of culture, art, business and living.

2025–2026
Šantovka District

The District’s name characterises the new urban quarter, which aims to expand the existing Šantovka city district and to continue offering places that encourage gatherings of all those who love good and high-quality dining, are fans of concerts, theatre performances or musicals, are open to unconventional experiences and like to frequent an area where movement, life and nature come together.

2013
Galerie Šantovka

This is where the story began more than a decade ago. Our goal was to build a business and social centre in Olomouc comparable to the best in the country and the world. The outstanding British architect Robert Bishop, winner of the UNESCO award, incorporated originality, esprit and high-quality materials into the design of the building. Since its opening in 2013, Galerie Šantovka has been the most visited centre in Olomouc and the entire region, one of the ten most successful establishments of its kind in the Czech Republic. Local residents have embraced Galerie Šantovka; it has become the modern heart of the city, a popular place for shopping, entertainment and gatherings. The recent celebration of the gallery’s tenth anniversary showed that the number of visitors has been growing and we are ready to meet that surge in demand. Indeed, Galerie Šantovka is here to stay. Its 48,377 m² of retail space, a state-of-the-art multiplex cinema (with 7 screens in the future) and an 18-lane bowling alley are not showing signs of ageing, as we do not rest on our laurels and carefully absorb our clients’ feedback.

The centre is currently undergoing a refit, modernising its interior spaces so that it can continue to set trends and remain at the top of its field. It will be there for you as a fixed part of the Šantovka District, a luxury shopping centre, where you will find the world’s top brands, fashion and first-rate services.

The emergence and future of the Šantovka District

Dear friends,

The world around us is changing, and new generations are bringing new perspectives, values and lifestyles. And it is no different in the business and entertainment sectors. We have carefully mapped out what is ‘in’ today all over the world. But why go to the world’s metropolises or tourist destinations for the latest trends? We bring the latest trends right here to Olomouc.  We are dedicated to building a new iconic destination for you. A district that will not only become a popular meeting place for residents of Olomouc and inhabitants of the region, but also an attractive destination for visitors from surrounding regions or nearby foreign countries. The heart of the Šantovka District will beat 365 days a year with an attractive programme. On the square you will experience real street life, street food and open-air events. Concerts, musicals, theatre, exhibitions and enriching conferences will be found in the multifunctional black box. We will offer you a variety of options for taking care of your body and your health. And a lot of opportunities to spend your free time actively and to avoid boredom, with physical or educational activities for all generations. A range of new shops will make it possible for you to buy great goods or high-quality healthy food. Stylish restaurants and cafés bring you dining experiences with various world cuisines along with local specialities. Or you can just sit quietly over a cup of coffee with friends on the new waterfront in a great climate right by the river.

I am already looking forward to seeing you in the Šantovka District!

Kind regards, Richard Morávek

An attractive destination that responds to the values and lifestyles of all generations

Responding to the latest trends in society. Customers are changing their preferences, behavioural patterns and value systems. Significant changes have been brought about by the COVID pandemic, and the way the economy functions is also changing. We are striving to accommodate the high demands for the environmental dimension of the project. Our philosophy is to create spaces for people, pleasant urban environments with independent buildings, lively streets and squares. An urban area catering for all aspects of human life and contemporary lifestyles", explains Robert Bishop, UNESCO award winner for the Prado project in Marseille.

The river, which flows through the Šantovka area, is an important part of the city, contributing to a pleasant climate and providing opportunities for leisure activities and quiet sit-downs over coffee on the waterfront. We intend to create a living waterfront that will lay the foundations for a long barrier-free corridor along the river that will eventually connect the centre of Olomouc with the southern suburbs of the city," added Martin Krupauer on another important dimension of the project.
