The Villa has a bit of a dramatic history. It was commissioned by Fritz Tugendhat for him and his wife to live in on land that had been gifted to him by his in-laws as a wedding present. When completed, the building was a masterpiece of revolutionary new modernist architecture – one of the first of it’s kind in Europe. Unfortunately, Tudhenhat enjoyed his place for only 8 years before the Munich Agreement dissolved Czechoslovakia in 1938, causing the family to flee the country. They never returned. The Nazis used it during the war… and the Soviets after – a time when it underwent quite a lot of damage and theft. It further came into prominence in when the documents to divide the land into Slovakia and the Czech Republic were signed here. In 1994, the house was opened as a museum and in 2001, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s also played a prominent role in the movies as the villains’ lair in Hannibal Rising.
