RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Thursday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!

in #travel7 years ago

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.DSC03985.JPG

I think this is the first time we get Villa Tugenhat entered in the contest! Thank you so much for that. Tomas

With pleasure
