Regarding Birthplace of Gregor Mendel (Rodný dům J. G. Mendela). Gregor Mendel was the founder of the science of genetics, based on experiments he conducted and a theory he derived in 1865. This is his birthplace, where his parents named him Johann Mendel (he took on the monastic name Gregor in 1843 when he became an Augustinian friar). His birthdate is uncertain, either July 20 or 22, 1822. This house was his childhood home, and his parents resided here throughout their lives. He attended boarding schools throughout much of his youth, but returned home for summers to work on the farm. In 1843, he was admitted as a friar into the Augustinian Monastery of St. Thomas in Brno where he resided in the monastery. He often returned to his birthplace to visit his family, and funded the construction of a fire station near his childhood home, that still stands.
