    Art Nouveau / Jugendstil in
    Brno / Brünn
    by globetrott
    Buildings made in Art Nouveau-style / Jugendstil may be found all over Brno / Brünn and this one is one of the nicest and most unique.
    These 2 faces seem to watch all pedestrians walking by in Minoritska, a street, where most of the great buildings may be found .

    And obviously a lot of effort and money was invested into these buildings in order to restore them...

    In some of the streets in the very centre of Brno / Brünn you may still see these great and beautiful Jugendstil / Art nouveau-street-lights dating back to the time, when Brno / Brünn was still part of the Austrian empire .
    It certainly was not always the fact that these old things survived because people were fond of them , but mostly they were simply not replaced by modern ones, as long as they worked well and there was not enough money in Czechia to modernize everything.

    In the new townhall of Brno / Brünn you should take a closer look at the 2 big entrance-gates, beautifully decorated with great sculptures and paintings.
    There are 2 eagls instead of the double-eagle of K&K Austria, and to be honest, I have no idea, what is the sense behind of this.
    These sculptures certainly date back to the austrian empire.

    In Starobrnenska Nr.7 you will see one of the most interesting buildings in Brno / Brünn.
    It is the building with the big faces of ladies watching the people passing by.
    On my picture you may see a detail of the door of this building, that is used mainly as a restaurant today - see also my restaurant-tip !

    Right under the 2 sphynxes and the sign "Salve" you may see these great door-knockers, showing most probably a dolphin or a whale.
    Fancy Door-knockers and door-handles in Czechia - once that you have started to search for them, you cannot stop, as there are so many beautiful ones left over.

    It is really great to see, that they have survived and are still working fine, although out of use today.

    This is one of the many nameless and still really beautiful entrance-gates I saw, when strolling through Brno / Brünn.
    Maybe it was a monastery once, at a time when monasteries were also not necessarily only religious communities, but simply houses where the noblemen sent their brothers and sisters, who were left over unmarried.
    And they all came equipped with some money and maybe works of art, paintings etc. - like a dowry.
    This is why some of the monasteries have so many works of art today.

    It is always nice to walk through a town and detect small architectoral gems like this one, that you may not find in any of your guide-books, but it still looks really great and unique.
    When you click on my picture, you should not miss Poseidon, sitting on top and watching the scenery from above.
    It is always nice to see that some of the rich merchants invested their money into works of art, to be seen for everyone since more than 100 years now.

    If you like good beers it is a must to visit the brewery of one of the best one's: Starobrno Pivovar!
    It offers guided doors (only at weekdays) and has also a pertaining restaurant.

    The Mitrovsky Summer House was built in the classical style, and was originally surrounded by a garden, an orangerie and a greenhouse. The house was built by Antonín Mitrovsky and subsequently changed hands often, until it ended up in the ownership of the city. During restoration work in 1962-1965 the original wall paintings were also restored. Today the Summer House is used for exhibition purposes.
