Krnov: TKC system Ltd. - náměstí Minoritů - Kostel Narození Panny Marie - Krnov - City Office
Krnov straddles the confluence of the Opava and Opavice rivers in the Moravian-Silesian Region, a setting that has long concentrated its streets and civic life between the waterways and the foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains. Náměstí Minoritů lies in the historic centre, close to the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, a former Minorite church and one of Krnov’s defining sacred buildings. Krnov developed as an important Silesian town and later gained industrial prominence, especially through textile production. It is also associated with organ building: the Rieger-Kloss tradition made the town a recognised name in the craft. The compact centre combines institutional buildings, residential streets and squares, while the rivers give Krnov a distinctly Silesian character.

Moravian-Silesian Region combines an industrial legacy with mountain terrain in a way that reflects its position between the historic lands of Moravia and Silesia on Czechia’s northeastern frontier. Ostrava, its largest city, developed around coal mining and ironmaking; the former Vítkovice ironworks, now the Dolní Vítkovice cultural complex, remain a defining reminder of that era. Beyond the urban basin, the Beskydy range rises in the southeast, while the Oder has its source in the Oderské vrchy. Opava adds another thread of Silesian identity through its historic centre and cultural life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Moravian-Silesian Region.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
