Bochner of Stražisko Palace, Renaissance Revival palace in Trnitá district, Czech Republic
Bochner of Stražisko Palace is a large historicist palace building on Přízová Street in Brno's Trnitá district, built in 1864–1867 by Josef Arnold as part of the Vlněna textile factory. It has several courtyards and is connected to the former industrial buildings. Its western façade once lay in the Náhon cadastre, while the rear courtyard section belonged to Křenová.
Johann Bochner founded a wool mill on these grounds in 1828; his sons Theodor and Edmund expanded it, and Edmund was ennobled in 1885 as "ze Stražiska" after his castle near Konice. The palace itself was built in 1864–1867 by Josef Arnold, one of Brno's oldest Neo-Renaissance buildings. After Edmund died in 1903, Josef Stiassni bought the works, then his sons Ernst and Alfred with Paul Neumark; the Stiassni family lost it at the start of World War II to the German manufacturer Julius Kunert.
The palace carries the name of Edmund Bochner, ennobled in 1885 as "ze Stražiska" after his castle near Konice. The Bochner family founded a woolen mill on the site in 1828; the palace itself was built in 1864–1867 as part of the Vlněna textile complex.
The palace stands on Přízová Street in Trnitá, its western front once in Náhon and its rear in Křenová. The surrounding Vlněna factory was demolished in 2016, so the palace now sits among new office buildings. Approach from Přízová to see the main façade.
A ground floor window features a carved child figure that showcases the detailed craftsmanship of the 1800s. This small sculptural detail is easy to miss but reveals the care taken in even minor decorative elements.
