The Moravian-Silesian Region is situated in the 

north-east of the Czech Republic. It is a varied 

region with a lot of diversity, which can offer lots 

of interesting attractions to tourists and holiday- 

-makers. In this publication you can be inspired 

to visit well-known cultural, historical and technical 

sights of our region. Lovers of chateaux and 

castles, of typical folk architecture and historical 

preservations will be thrilled without a doubt. Hikers 

will be able to see the landscape from lookouts. 

The special character of our region lies in 

its unique technical monuments. 

The region is divided into six tourist areas, each 

of which has its specific character. In addition to its 

beautiful nature, the Beskydy Mountains can offer 

a number of monuments of folk architecture, 

especially unique wooden chapels and buildings. 

The beautiful landscape of the Odra River Basin, 

with the charming floodplains of the Odra River 

is enhanced by a number of chateaux, ruins of 

castles and three preserved historical towns. Areas 

of the Ostrava Region (Ostravsko) and Karviná 

Region (Karvinsko) have exceptional scenery that 

is brought out by the tradition of deep mining of 

bituminous coal since primeval times. Numerous 

technical monuments, which are often world-unique, 

correspond to that. Though the Opava Region 

(Opavsko) is a small strip of land it offers a wide 

range of attractions and monuments. Especially 

chateaux, historical towns and also well-preserved 

military fortresses from the pre-World War II fortification 

lines are among the attractions. The Jeseníky 

Mountains, which are ruled by the local good 

mountain ghost called “Praděd“, are a popular destination 

of tourists not only thanks to beautiful natural 

attractions but also to a number of chateaux 

and ruins of castles or the oldest narrow-gauge 

railway and steam train in Central Europe. 

Lovers of monuments, 

welcome to our country!

KUNÍN 4 km north of Nový Jičín 

Kunín Chateau is among the most precious baroque chateaux in Moravia. A renaissance fortress, rebuilt 

into a baroque chateau of the Harrach family according to the project of J.L. Hildebrandt, was originally 

in its location. It reached its greatest heyday at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries during the reign 

of the countess Marie Walburg Harrach, who built there one of the most modern educational institutes 

in Central Europe at that time. Its best-known student was the “Father of the Nation“ and great Czech 

historian František Palacký. 

At present the chateau has gone through extensive reconstruction, which restored interiors to their 

original appearance. During the very interesting sightseeing tour the visitor will marvel at the substantial 

change of the chateau from ruins into this baroque jewel. The chateau and its park are also the scene of 

various cultural events associated with the building history.

park. The older building, the so-called White Chateu, is situated in the location of a Slavic hillfort 

from the 8th century, where the princely castle of the Premyslid dynasty was built in the 11th - 13th 

centuries. At the end of the 16th century it was rebuilt into a renaissance chateau with a decorative 

garden. It got its present empire style shape after the fire in 1796, when it was reconstructed 

according to the design of Jan Mihatch. Other, especially interior adaptations in romance style were 

made in 1845 - 1859 and after the year 1861. From 1874 to 1891 other buildings, such as the 

White Tower, a fortification wall with a terrace and the so-called Red Chateau, inspired by unaltered 

castles of Medieval Germany, were built according to the design of A. Langer and F. Händel. At 

present they serve as a hotel and renowned restaurant. The chateau park is completed with a landscaped 

park with an area of approximately 63 hectares, founded in 1796. 

A permanent exhibition on the history of the chateau and the gallery that displays jewels of the 

original chateau picture-gallery. Guests such as L. van Beethoven, W. A. Mozart, F. Liszt, N. Paganini

Chateau Bruntál with arcade court, surrounded by an adjacent park, is among the greatest landmarks of 

the town of Bruntál. The history of the chateau stretches back to the second half of the 15th century, when 

the chateau was founded by lords from Vrbno. Later it was rebuilt into an opulent renaissance chateau in 

a non-traditional part-circular shape. The present appearance came with the late-baroque reconstruction, 

which, however, preserved the renaissance arcades in the court and clock tower. So a unique combination 

of renaissance and baroque styles was developed. 

It includes a historical interior decorated by precious rococo mural wall paintings and lavishly furnished 

from the 18th and 19th centuries, in addition to the chateau gallery, hunting armoury and chateau 

library. Part of the chateau is used as a museum with an exhibition called “Nature of the Bruntál Region“ 

and with portraits from the 19th century. The chateau is surrounded by a natural-landscaped park with fine

-storey building with a system of fortifications. In the 1540s the castle was converted into a renaissance 

chateau. In 1872 it burnt down but was reconstructed. The main cause of further deterioration was the 

mining of coal beds directly under the castle. The building slumped by 16 metres (this subsidence is unique

back to the second half of the 13th century. It was probably destroyed in the Hussite campaigns and up to 

this day the castle-moat, two ramparts, ruins of fortifications, the palace and tower have been preserved. 

Numerous archeological findings (e.g. Šostýn´s Venus) are exhibited in the Museum of Fojství in Kopřivnice. 

Žižka´s linden tree, which is approximately 200 - 250 years old, can be found on the highest spot of the ruin 

of Šostýn Castle. Not far from here there is a steep detached calcareous mass called “Raška´s Stone“ with an 

observation deck.

ŠTRAMBERK 


The town of Štramberk was founded on slopes of Chateau Hill in the second half of the 14th century. 

At present, thanks to its picturesque scenery and unique complex of town folk architecture, Štramberk 

is called “Moravian Bethlehem“. The ruin of Štramberk (Strallenberg) Castle with a cylindrical tower 

called “Trúba“ dominates the town as well as broad environs. The picturesque Štramberk square is 

lined by brick houses with features of late baroque and empire. In its upper part there is the baroque 

Church of St. Jan Nepomucký and St. Bartholomew. Timbered houses, which were built by Walachian 

handicraft workers in the 18th and 19th centuries, stand on high ground walls in adjacent twisting 

lanes. The majority of these Walachian timbered houses are, thanks to their unique character, an architectural 

rarities within the whole Czech Republic.

The town was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, when it acted as a market town. Its 

oldest part and pride of the town is the quadrangle, which with its design is among the high points of 

medieval town planning in our country. About 50 burgher houses, built in late gothic or renaissance 

styles, often with archways, are protected in the square and adjacent streets. The so-called Old Post 

Office, a house with a one-storey arcade recessed balcony, built by unknown Italian builders in the 

style of Tuscany renaissance, is also a unique structure. The baroque Marian Column from 1710 and 

a fountain from 1930 dominate the square. Discontinuous segments of town fortifications from the 

14th and 15th centuries and a wall with hexagonal bastion from the beginning of the 17th century 

have been preserved along the core of the town.

the town was named after the famous native Sigmund Freud. Town houses in the centre are mostly 

renaissance with baroque adaptations. The gothic parish Church of Nativity of the Virgin Mary with 

a colossal tower dates back to the period of town´s founding. Late in the 17th century piarists came

OPAVA REGION 


VILLAGES 

It is the only village in the Opava Region 

with preserved buildings, which are unique 

evidence of the original folk architecture. 

The first mention of the village 

dates back to 1377. There are two lines of 

gable-fronted houses with even development. 

These are one-storey, mostly brick 

dwellings as well as farm buildings from 

the end of the 18th and the beginning 

of the 19th centuries. Local farmsteads 

can be classified as the East-Sudetic type. 

From the viewpoint of functional use, the 

cattle shed type is typical for all houses. 

Vertical articulation of an attic, where the 

loft was situated on the lower floor and 

the upper level served as the granary, is 

characteristic of these buildings.

it was degraded to a village again. 

This picturesque village at the foothills 

of the Jeseníky Mountains is, in addition 

to its history, of interest also because 

of the fact that timbered ground- 

-floor houses, built during the 19th 

century, have been preserved up to the 

present. These buildings are the part 

of a unique conserved complex of folk 

architecture in the Bruntál Region. The

The place was named after hermits, who had lived 

here and the last of whom died in 1874. Wooden 

structures built in the national style by the noted 

Slovak architect Dušan Jurkovič dominate at Pustevny. 

In 1891, with the boom in tourism, the first 

tourist shelter lodge called Pústevňa (Hermitage) 

was built there. In the course of time the Šumná 

(Pretty) stone lodge, the Cyrilka observation pavilion, 

the Maměnka (Mummy) shelter lodge and 

Libušín eating house followed. With their folk 

architecture these huts are a unique art noveau 

specimen of the folk art impact on modern architecture. 

In winter Pustevny becomes a much 

sought after ski resort. A 4-kilometre-long ridge 

route runs from Pustevny, past the Cyrilka observation 

pavilion and the statue of the pagan god 

Radegast to the summit of Radhošť with its wooden

The Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains can 

boast of not only bewitching nature, but also 

charming folk log-houses. A unique complex 

of more than twenty wooden churches, built 

in the course of five centuries, can be found 

here. Regarding the concentration, diversity 

of styles and state of repair of individual 

buildings, the complex is viewed as unique in 

Central Europe. 

The Church of St. Frederick in Bílá, 

a high slender steeple and structure of the 

main vessel resembling Scandinavian architecture, 

also ranks among the historically 

youngest churches. 

THE CHURCH OF ST. FREDERICK IN BÍLÁ 

The Church of Corpus Christi in Guty 

ranks among the oldest (1563) of the wooden 

Beskydy churches. Its unique dominant 

feature is the L-shaped choir with arabesques 

decorations. 

The Church of St. Cyril and Methodius in Hrčava, the youngest (1936) of the wooden churches, at first 

sight appears to be very simple, however a richly engraved baptismal font is hidden inside. The borders of the 

Czech, Slovak and Polish Republics meet in the village of Hrčava. Three joint granite blocks with national coats 

of arms of the respective countries and their names have been erected here.

At first sight the Church of the 

Holy Trinity in Gruň is attractive

among trees. 

The Church of St. Prokop and 

Barbara, a somewhat exotic-appearing 

wooden church is located 

between Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem 

and Čeladná. It is from Transcarpathian 

Russia and it was transported

MICHAL MINE 

Ostrava - Michálkovice 

The history of Michal Mine stretches back to 1843, when the Austrian Empire started to place two 

shafts in Michálkovice at Ostrava. One of them was the so-called Michálkovice shaft No 3 renamed 

Michal after the deceased c.k. court councillor Michael Laier. It is a particularly valuable authentic industrial 

area as to the building and technical aspects. The reconstruction completed in 1915, carried 

out according to the design of the eminent architect František Fiala, had a fundamental influence on 

the shape of the mine. 

A unique complex of electrical hoists and underground compressors from the beginnings of 

electrification, as well as miner´s bathrooms, a former lamp room, transporter crane tracks with 

coal tippers and a shaft building with cages. The sightseeing route allows you to go through the 

same route that was daily travelled by miners when comming to work. Thus, the non-arranged 

exhibition has a character of the “last working day“. The operations ceased in Michal Mine in

THE NARROW-GAUGE RAILWAY 

Třemešná ve Slezsku 

- Osoblaha 

This tourist attraction of the Osoblaha Region was built in the times of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy 

and it was put into service on 14th December 1898. The regulations at the time allowed the railway to 

be built only in a distance longer than 20km. To comply with this parameter, constructors chose a forced 

extension of the railway through the use of a number of bends. The Osoblaha narrow-gauge railway is 

the technical monument, a railway which is 20km long and the railway gauge is 760mm. The railway has 

4 bridges and 102 bends. The maximum allowable speed of the train, which passes through 10 stations, is 

40 km per hour. It is the oldest narrow-gauge railway in Central Europe and since 2004 a historical steam 

train runs here again. The hours of operation of the historical steam train are predominantly at weekends 

and on public holidays.

LYSÁ HORA MOUNTAIN 


of Frýdek-Místek 

Lysá Hora Mountain (1,324 metres above sea level) offers one of the most beautiful views in the Czech 

Republic. Its vast massif visible from a long distance is made up of four bulk mountain ridges. They join in 

a star-shaped pattern into the highest peak called Gigula, whose top is highlighted by a television transmitter. 

From no other place in our republic can you see such a gorgeous panorama of mountain tops as from 

Lysá Hora Mountain. In conditions of good visibility you can make out the Tatras on one side, the Jeseníky 

Mountains on the other side. However, only the view opposite Smrk Mountain (Spruce Fir Mountain) or 

Ondřejník across the dizzily deep valley of the Ostravice River provides an unforgettable experience.

attractive for tourists and it is a frequented destination in summer as well as winter. Praděd is the highest 

mountain in Moravia. In 1970-1980 a 145-metre telecommunication tower was built here as a premier observation 

place. If weather permits, it is possible to see the Krkonoše Mountains and the High Tatras from 

here. It has been erected in place of a stone observation tower from the early 20th century, which had the 

interesting shape of a romanesque castle watchtower. Later the stone observation tower was replaced by 

the present structure with a meteorological station, restaurant and an observation point. There are ideal 

conditions for winter and summer sports.
