Český pomologický ústav, Pomological Institute in Brno-Bohunice, Czech Republic

The Český pomologický ústav is a former horticultural school building at Lány 34 in Brno-Bohunice, completed in 1903 and used from 5 July 1904. Designed by Dušan Jurkovič, it is plainer than his other buildings, with few decorative elements and little folklore-inspired detail. The school closed in 2004 and the building now stands unused and decaying.

Teaching began on 4 February 1901, before the building on Lány street was finished in 1903 and first used on 5 July 1904. František Suchý pushed through the founding of the pomological institute and became its director; the original plans later confirmed Dušan Jurkovič as architect. The school closed in 2004, when teaching moved to Rajhrad.

The school's successive names record its widening scope: from the Český pomologický ústav it became the Zemský pomologický ústav, then the Zemský zahradnicko-ovocnářský ústav, and in the 1990s the Střední zahradnická škola Brno-Bohunice. Under Jan Cígler from 1919 the course ran two years and covered the whole horticultural field. From 1956 director Vladimír Dvorský added an internát, and five-year study ended with the maturita.

The building at Lány 34, originally Na lánech, stands unused since teaching moved to Rajhrad in 2004; it is state property transferred to the city of Brno, which has sought to sell it. The grounds were partly cultivated again from 2014, mainly along the adjoining roads. The school complex is a protected monument, so expect a decaying, closed site rather than a visitable interior.

The building has been a protected cultural monument since 2010, yet it has stood unused since teaching moved to Rajhrad in 2004. Brno owns it and has sought to sell it directly to November Rain, a firm owned by Petr Liškutín.
