The original building of the Moravian provincial self-government was where the provincial assemblies and courts held session. The building complex, whose front is situated in Dominican square, began to be used as the New Town hall after the final reconstruction in 1934-35. It was due to its previous commendable function as the city administration that this site was chosen. From a historical and architectural viewpoint it is one of the most significant Moravian buildings as from 1348 to 1783 it served the Moravian province independently and was inseparably linked with the fate of Bmo city, the land of Moravia and the whole country. Belonging to some of the older rooms which make up the New Town hall complex and which are used by Bmo city council are the former cross-shaped corridor and the chapter hall of the Dominican Monastery. They are some of the oldest buildings in Brno linked to the development of the city.
