Villa Tugendhat was built in 1929-1930 for Greta and Fritz Tugendhat according to the design of German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The uniqueness of the Brno villa lies in its formal architectural purity, its placement in a natural framework and interconnection of spaces, but also in the technical and structural design and use of fine material. Villa Tugendhat is not only an iconic building in the context of Brno's modern development, but also the opus magnum of its architect. Therefore, it was entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001 as the only monument of modern architecture in the Czech Republic.
