Novelist and essayist Milan Kundera is one of the best known people born in Brno – although he has been living in France for several decades.

Musicologist Miloš Štědroň revealed the address of the house where Kundera was born several weeks ago in an interview – it is located in quarter Královo Pole, at 6 Purkyňova st., next do Dobrák swimming pool and quite near the complex of University of Technology and IBM.

It is just an ordinary house, not belonging to Kundera’s family anymore (according to the land register) – but I think it is just a nice trivia about Brno.
