Description:: Sokol buildings worldwide - both actively used and converted to other use.

Expanded Description:

Sokol (the name means "Falcon") is a Czech gymnastic and athletic association, founded in 1862 in Prague. Before WW I it became popular both in Czech lands and other Slavic regions of Austro-Hungarian Empire. After Czechoslovakia became an independent state, the Sokol movement flourished and it had major influence on the community life - there was a Sokol unit in almost every town. The Czech Sokol units are associated in Ceska obec sokolska.

Czech, Slovak and Polish emigrants were also founding their local Sokol organisations throughout the world. The World Sokol Federation currently associates 12 Sokol organizations in 15 countries, including American Sokol and Sokol USA. The other international Sokol associations are Slovak Catholic Sokol or Polish Falcons of America.

This category is about Sokol buildings worldwide. These are typically gyms or community centers and many of them have been built by volunteering members or have another interesting history, eg. a plaque in memory of local Sokol activists - please mention these details in your waymark listing. Any other info about the history of the local Sokol unit, or the sports and exercises performed here, is welcome.
