Jurkovič Heating Plant

Jurkovič Heating Plant was built in the former industrial area of Bratislava, in between Čulenova, Továrenská and Bottova streets.

[4] The heating plant complex was built after the war in the 1940s on the grounds of Apollo, a mineral oil refinery.

On June 16, 1944, American bombers attacked the Apollo Refinery as well as the Winter Harbor and the Danube Bridge in Bratislava.

[2] In 2018, Penta Real Estate obtained a permit to revitalize Jurkovič Heating Plant which received its occupancy certificate again in 2021.

The complex also contains a park with more than 35,000 m (115,000 ft) of greenery which was designed by Igor Marko in cooperation with Townshend Landscape Architects.
