Where to stay in Husovice
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The pull in Husovice is rodný dům Bohumila Hrabala and the Church of the Sacred Heart of Our Lord, both a few streets apart in what stays a residential corner of Brno-sever. Hotel beds barely register in Husovice. Anyone booking here is doing it for the Hrabal addresses or for family in the district, since the rooms sit further in toward the centre of Brno and the trip back out takes minutes rather than an evening.

About Husovice
What are the main landmarks in Husovice?
Five entries, and two carry the same name. Husovice records rodný dům Bohumila Hrabala and the Memorial of Bohumil Hrabal, along with the Church of the Sacred Heart of Our Lord, the chrám Uvedení Bohorodice do Chrámu and Monastýr svaté kněžny české Ludmily, which between them cover the district's whole official list. Two churches and a monastery.
Apartment blocks fill everything between them.
What is the history of Husovice?
Husovice ran itself before 1919. Brno took it in that year, and since November 1990 the cadastral territory has sat inside Brno-sever, one of the city districts into which Brno divides its ground. The name is older than either arrangement.
Its 1.32 square kilometres held a town before they held a quarter, and the parish churches that served it stayed put through the change.
Where is Husovice?
Husovice fills 1.32 square kilometres of Brno-sever, a compact block of streets gathered around the Church of the Sacred Heart of Our Lord.
