Von Bock House, Classicist architectural monument in Kesklinn, Tartu, Estonia.
The Von Bock House features three floors with a light yellow facade and dark pink walls, situated at Ülikooli Street 16 in central Tartu.
Built in 1786 by architect Johann Heinrich Bartholomäus Walter, the building was initially owned by Colonel Magnus Johann von Bock before the University of Tartu acquired it in 1839.
The exterior wall displays a large mural of the University of Tartu main building, created during the 2007 renovation by students and university staff.
The building contains lecture rooms, exhibition spaces, and educational facilities as part of the University of Tartu Philosophicum complex.
The first floor preserves its original decorated plaster ceiling from the 18th century, reflecting the space's former function as an entertainment venue.
