The wastewater traetment plant museum ( managed by the company "Museum Satrá Cistírna, o.p.s.") is a listed industrial sight (at the same time) one of the most interesting industrial architecture objects in the Czech Republic. Part of the tours are visits to the underground of the main operating building, where the visitors can learn a lot about the history of sewerage and waste water cleaning.One floor higher, in the steam engine room, two operational Breitfeld & Danek steam engines from 1903 can be seen. The plant was supposted to be in operation until the end of the thirties in the previous century, howewer, it served its purpose till 1967.
The practically forgotten building was discovered by few enthusiasts in mid-eighties. They started to repair the building. On April 26, 1991 this area was proclaimed ahistorical landmark. On June 1, 2010, the Wastewater treatment plant in Bubenec, Prague, became a national historic landmark.
