Terezín Fortress had several riding stables from the 18th century. However, all of them were outdoors. It was only 80 years later that a new indoor riding hall was built near the Horse Riding (now Magdeburg) Barracks. It was designed in 1860-1861 and completed a year later.
The riding hall served its original purpose until the Second World War, during the Jewish ghetto during the occupation it was used as a warehouse and after the liberation it was used as a repair shop for the Czechoslovak army.
Today, it is again used for its original purpose of training riders and their horses. However, you can also meet here dog training from agility, dogdancing to obedience. The Riding School also includes an exhibition dedicated to the history of the Riding School and military equestrian units.
