About Zábrdovice
What are the main landmarks in Zábrdovice?
Zábrdovice carries more churches than its size suggests. The Monastery of Premonstratensians and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stand at its core, the Museum of Romani Culture holds a building close by, and the Ursulines monastery, the Monastery of Minorits and Měnínská brána all fall inside the same short radius toward the middle of Brno. The Brno House of Arts is the modern entry on that list.
Start with the monastery.
What is the history of Zábrdovice?
Zábrdovice began as a village of its own. Brno annexed it in 1850, and the territory stayed whole until November 1990, when it was split between Brno-střed and Brno-Židenice, with Brno-sever taking a third share from May 1998. Three districts, one cadastral name.
The name survived every one of those redrawings.
Where is Zábrdovice?
Zábrdovice covers 1.64 square kilometres northeast of the centre of Brno, with Brno-Židenice holding its far side.
