City of Brno | Conference location | Accomodation | Travel instructions

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, with a population of almost 400 000 inhabitants and the country’s judiciary and trade-fair centre. The first written note of Brno comes from the ninth century. City rights were acquired in 1243. After successful defence of the city against the Swedish 350 years ago (in 1643–45 during the Thirty Years’ War), Brno became the capital of Moravia. There are six public and state Universities in Brno. Historical and artistic places of interest include:

 Špilberk castle and fortifications – from 13th century, called the Prison of Nations 

Founded in the first half of the 13th century as a royal castle for the defence of Brno. After the 17th century it served as a provincial fortress, and in the 18th and 19th centuries it was a prison for political inmates, called the “prison of nations” of the Habsburg monarchy. It is famous e.g. thanks to many Italian Carbonari prisoners. In 1939-1940 it was prison of the Brno Gestapo, and afterwards served as a military building. Since 1960 it has been the central office of the Brno City Museum. There is a permanent exhibit in the castle`s casemates, and a new exhibition named “Spilberk – Prison of Nations”, as well as displays on Brno history and the City Museum gallery, are currently being prepared in the northern wing.

 Petrov Cathedral – with neo-Gothic altar and towers 

The Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul is located on the hilltop next to the city centre, on the presumed site of the former Brno castle (including a chapel) from the 11th and 12th centuries. After the old castle`s demise a detached Romanesque basilica was rebuilt as a Gothic cathedral in the 13th century, further modified in the 15th and 16th centuries, and converted to the Baroque style in the 18th century. Its current neo-Gothic form dates from the end of the 19th century. Since 1777 the cathedral has been the seat of the Brno bishop. The original church crypt from the 12th century is now accessible to visitors.

 St. James’ Church – late Gothic building 

National Cultural site. Founded in the 13th century. The late gothic building we see today was constructed in the 14th and 15th century. (A. Pilgram, A. Gabri, M. Grim, builders) with its final touches added in the 16th century.

 Dietrichstein Palace – from the beginning of 17th century 

Dietrichstejn palace was built in the years 1613-16 by G.G.Tencalla. The monumental palace was rebuilt around the year 1720. Part of the building complex is the “bishop’s courtyard” built in 1352. Today’s Moravian Provincial Museum.

 Capuchin Church of the Holy Cross – from 17th century, with an accessible crypt 

The Capuchin monastery and the church in the former Coal Market were built by Ondrej Erna in mid-17th Century. It contains a crypt with mummified bodie of the order members and benefactors of the Capuchin Order.
