Nový Jičín, District town in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic

The Renaissance-Baroque town center features an expansive square surrounded by arcaded buildings at an elevation of 285 meters above sea level.

The settlement received its first written documentation in 1313 and obtained royal town status from Frederick V in 1620 during the Thirty Years' War.

The Žerotínský Castle, dating from the 1380s, houses the regional museum showcasing local history through artifacts and exhibitions.

The town connects to major transport routes via European route E462 and maintains regular railway services to Suchdol nad Odrou station.

Since 1630, Nový Jičín developed into a global center for hat manufacturing, with TONAK factory continuing this tradition of headwear production.
