Birthplace of Gregor Mendel

The white two-story farmhouse features traditional Moravian architecture with green window frames and a sloping roof in the rural landscape of Silesia.

Born on July 20, 1822, Gregor Johann Mendel spent his early years in this farmhouse, helping his family with agricultural work before pursuing scientific education.

The building preserves the original living quarters where Mendel developed his initial interest in plant cultivation through observing his father's farming techniques.

Located in northern Moravia, the farmhouse contains exhibits about Mendel's childhood and maintains period furniture from the early 19th century.

The property includes the original barn where young Mendel first observed plant characteristics while working with his father's crop varieties.
