Bus Hire in Prostejov

Prostejov is the third-largest city in the Olomouc Region, situated in the flat agricultural Hana plain 30 km south-west of Olomouc. The city's modern fame rests on the garment industry: Prostejov was the centre of Czech and Austro-Hungarian bespoke tailoring from the mid-19th century, producing military uniforms and civilian suits under brands including Pros, Oktan, and the current Nehera fashion house. The Jewish community that drove the tailoring industry from the 1850s to the 1930s has left a significant architectural legacy in the city's commercial centre.

Prostejov's compact old town retains its market square layout and several Art Nouveau commercial buildings from the boom years. The city is 30 km south-west of Olomouc (UNESCO Holy Trinity Column) via the D46 motorway and 60 km from Brno Turany Airport. The Prostejov Municipal Museum in the former New Town Hall covers the city's textile and fashion heritage in detail.

Prostejov Fashion Heritage and Nehera Brand

The Prostejov garment industry grew from Jewish merchant families who established tailoring workshops in the 1850s under the Habsburg military contract system. By 1900 the city had over 80 tailoring factories producing 20% of the Austro-Hungarian Army's uniform requirement. The interwar Bata-era modernism and Art Deco commercial buildings on Namesti T.G. Masaryka reflect this prosperity. The Nehera fashion brand, originally founded in Prostejov in 1921, was revived in 2014 as a premium menswear label and has retail presence in Prague and abroad. The Municipal Museum's permanent exhibition traces the full tailoring history.

Olomouc UNESCO City (30 km North-East)
