Tartu Von Bock House

The Tartu Von Bock House is located in the centre of Tartu on Ülikooli Street and is a historic town building dating from the 18th century. The house once belonged to the von Bock family and was put to use by the re-opened university in 1802. The university's ceremonial opening event also took place here. The building has at various times been used as a clinic, a veterinary school and a scientific library. Following renovation, it was reopened in 2007. From the street, visitors can view a wall painting depicting the university's main building and a photo exhibition related to historical professors. The house is an architectural monument in its own right.
