The functionalist villa was built in 1927 according to a design by architect Arnošt Wiesner for textile industrialist Alfred Stiassny. During the occupation, it was confiscated by the Gestapo from the original owners, and after the war, it remained state-owned. In addition to Czechoslovak presidents, Fidel Castro also lived there. Experts say the Brno government villa is as interesting as the most famous Brno functionalist building -
Villa Tugendhat.
