Frydek-Mistek

Frýdek-Místek occupies both banks of the Ostravice River in the foothills of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, in Czechia’s Moravian-Silesian Region. The river long marked the historic boundary between Moravia and Silesia: Místek developed on the Moravian bank, while Frýdek belonged to Silesia. Today’s town retains this dual identity in two historic centres, joined administratively in 1943. Frýdek Castle, above the former Silesian town, recalls the area’s role as an estate centre, while the Basilica of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary is an important pilgrimage church. The Beskids begin just south of town. Move on to other webcams in the Moravian-Silesian Region to compare townscapes and Beskid foothills around Frýdek-Místek.
