Mitrovský Summer House in Brno
Premiere type: Monuments and history, Comfort of the towns, Entertainment. We recommend for: Holidays with children, Holidays for young people, Relaxing holiday.
Announced: February 2008
After several years, during which the cultural monument was unused and inaccessible, the Mitrovský Summer House in Brno was opened to public again. It can be visited all the year round to see exhibitions and attend other cultural and social activities.
The only summer house preserved in the town of Brno (and in the whole Moravia) was built by count Antonín Arnošt Mitrovský as a garden casino next to a French and a natural English garden in 1779-1794. The ground plan is late baroque, the building itself is built in early classicist style. The interiors contain mainly copies, but also originals of Louis XVI style furniture. The fresco paintings in the central hall show exotic sceneries with local architecture, fauna and flora.
The historic halls on the ground floor and the basement areas from 1980’s serve for cultural and social purposes (e.g. exhibitions, chamber concerts and theatre performances, author’s readings, lectures, discussions, weddings and wedding receptions, trainings, seminar meetings, conferences, presentations, workshops etc.).
The Mitrovský family
Antonín Arnošt Mitrovský came from the Hungarian family line. He settled down in Brno in 1778. A year later he bought an estate with garden in Old Brno together with two private pieces of land, on which a casino building grew up in the following years. Behind it, a minor three-level French garden and a large natural English garden with an orangery were created.
In Moravia, Mitrovský participated in the cultural and artistic life of the late moderate Enlightenment period as well as in the reform of the aristocratic academy education. He became one of the university’s (or college’s) patrons. He had an art collection and he was also an active member of the Salm’s Masonic lodge “At the rising sun in the Orient”. The Mitrovský family also owned estates in Vysočina – Dolní Rožínka and Pernštejn.
