The Besední House is one of the most important buildings in Brno's architecture. It was built in the years 1870–1873 as part of a newly built roundabout. The author of the historic Neo-Renaissance building was the architect Theophil von Hansen.
The pride of the Besední House is the Neo-Renaissance hall (after renovation in its original stylish form), which the Brno Philharmonic offers for short-term rent. The hall for 473 visitors is a popular place for concerts, music festivals, competitions, balls, fashion shows, conferences, corporate meetings and wedding receptions. However, those interested can also rent other representative spaces - a hall, a foyer, a director's lounge or a glazier's office for occasional events such as exhibitions, discussions, choir rehearsals, etc.
The Besední dům building can accommodate a maximum of 550 guests. There are 480 chairs and 85 tables, practice cables, choir levels, music stands, microphones, etc. The stage can be extended in depth.
