Historical centre of Krnov

Krnov was an important town on the Czech-Polish border and was the centre of the Krnov principality. The importance of the town grew stronger during the Renaissance, which is still evident in some of the houses and streets in the historic centre.

Baroque and Renaissance can be seen on the facades of the townhouses in Zámecká Street. The palaces, which were built from the wealth of local textiles, are also a great reminder of the city’s glory. One of these architectural gems is the family villa of the Flemmich factory and the Silesia Fair Palace.

The chateau, which stands on the site of the original castle, also retains Renaissance elements. The chateau is not open to the public. The dominant feature of the town is the newly renovated town hall with its typical tower, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Krnov. The Jewish synagogue, which miraculously survived to the present day and has recently been reconstructed to its original form, is unique.
