Maybe the most beautiful view of the Brno skyline is from Cernopolní street. We can find here one of the most important buildings of the Modern Movement (Functionalism) - Villa Tugendhat. One of the most famous European architects, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, started to build this villa in June 1929, which was built-to-order for the Tugendhats, a newly married couple. The architect had no financial limitations; therefore, construction materials as well as equipment were top quality; some was even exported from overseas. The Tugendhats moved to the villa in December 1930; however, they lived there only till the year 1938, when they had to flee the Nazis.
Villa Tugendhat has survived until today in its original form; thanks to its originality it has been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
