Hello, this building with modern look was built in 1930 and it's the most well-known villa in the city of Brno - functionalistic Villa Tugenhat, the work of the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Because of Jewish origin the owners had to escape before the World War II. Villa Tugenhat now belongs among monuments listed in World Cultural Heritage UNESCO sites.The story of the building inspired Simon Mawer to his bestseller The Glass Room.
