The Municipal Culture House (Hornický dům) is the former miner's house, which was built between 1923 and 1925 according to the design of the architect Rudolf Wels. It became an important centre of social, political and cultural life. On the façade there is a relief entitled "A Day in the Life of a Miner" by the Karlovy Vary sculptor Wilhelm Srb-Schlossbauer. In 1969 and 1970 Hornický dům was rebuilt, the façade was covered with white marble slabs, the windows were replaced and the roof was adapted. The Sokolovský Information Centre is also located here.
