The historic Moorish Waterworks in Lednice, or Moorish House, served as part of the system that supplied water to the park and as a spa resort for the Burgundy nobility. Its current appearance was given in the 1950s by the architect Jiří Wingelmüller, who combined Moorish and Gothic elements in the decoration of the facade
The building, remodeled in Moorish style by the architect Wingelmüller, served partly as a steam bath and at the same time as a technical background for the park's irrigation system. The turbine located here produced electricity for the castle and part of the village.

Pumps that irrigate park areas are still doing their job and other companies also use them for service water. The building underwent many changes during its lifetime. This was preceded by a work by Václav Josef and master builder Breguin. Twelve years later costly repairs were needed and then this pumping station was closed as impractical. The new project was initiated in 1785 and its implementation began in the same year.

The waterworks is located about 250 m north of the Lednice chateau on the bank of the Dyje river. As one of the oldest preserved facilities of this type in the Czech Republic, the building was later given to the Technical Museum in Brno.
