Koprivnice

Among the cities of the Moravian-Silesian Region, Kopřivnice stands out for its deep connection to Czech vehicle making. Set in the foothills of the Beskydy Mountains, the town grew from the carriage works founded by Ignác Šustala in 1850. In 1897, the factory produced the Präsident, regarded as the first automobile manufactured in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, beginning the story of the Tatra marque. The Tatra Technical Museum preserves that industrial legacy through historic cars and other vehicles, while the ruins of Šostýn Castle rise on the wooded slopes above town.
