St Thomas's Abbey is an Augustinian abbey and church located in Brno in the Czech Republic. The geneticist and abbot Gregor Mendel was its most famous religious leader to date, who between 1856 and 1863 conducted his experiments on pea plants in the monastery garden. His experiments brought forth two generalizations which later became known as Mendel's Laws of Inheritance.
The Abbey is unique amongst modern Augustinian foundations because it is not called a priory, and indeed it has an abbot whereas all other existing Augustinian friaries are led by a prior.

The Underground reservoirs in Žlutý kopec are located between Tvrdého and Tomešova street on Žlutý kopec. The first of the historic reservoirs was built in 1872 to improve the quantity and quality of Brno's water supply. The reservoir was supplemented with another similar one at the end of the 19th century, and two decades later by a third reservoir consisting of two concrete tanks. The reservoirs remained in operation until 1997, when they were disconnected from the water supply network.
In autumn 2019, an entrance was built to allow access to the reservoirs, but has so far only been used for operational purposes. In the same year they were declared a cultural monument. In July 2020 the first underground reservoir was open to the public.

Špilberk Castle is a castle on the hilltop in Brno, Southern Moravia. Its construction began as early as the first half of the 13th century by the Přemyslid kings and completed by King Ottokar II of Bohemia.
From a major royal castle established around the mid-13th century, and the seat of the Moravian margraves in the mid-14th century, it was gradually turned into a huge baroque citadel considered the harshest prison in the Austrian Empire, and then into barracks. This prison had always been part of the Špilberk fortress and is frequently referenced by Fabrice Del Dongo, the main protagonist in Stendhal's historical novel The Charterhouse of Parma.
