Villa Löw-Beer, Art Nouveau villa in Černá Pole, Czech Republic.
Villa Löw-Beer is a three-storey Art Nouveau villa in Brno-Černá Pole, built in 1903–1904 to a design by Alexander Neumann. Its peach-coloured facade on a grey stone base is topped by a dark grey mansard roof with dormers, and a round tower with a dark domed cupola rises on the right of the front. Inside, a central hall with a skylight is reached from the entrance hall, and a wooden balustrade with carved leaf panels frames the upper landing.
The house was built in 1903 for a factory owner and purchased in 1913 by a textile manufacturer. It then became the residence of an important industrial family in the city.
The house shows how wealthy industrial families lived in Brno and the role they held in local society. Visitors can observe how these families furnished their homes and what objects mattered to them.
The villa stands at Drobného 22 in Černá Pole, northeast of Brno's old town, with the garden house called Celnice in the grounds; its ground floor holds a café and its upper floor a small gallery. The garden connects to the slope above Lužánky park, and the neighbouring Villa Tugendhat occupies the upper part of the former plot.
The garden of this house borders directly with UNESCO-listed Villa Tugendhat, built in 1930 for the owner's daughter. Together these two houses form a special pair of contrasting architectural styles.
