Uherský Brod

Uherský Brod is a municipality with expanded powers in the Uherské Hradiště District of eastern Moravia. It features a well-maintained historic town center with a main square and parish church, surrounded by residential areas and local commercial zones.

The town developed from medieval times as an important trading post on the route between Central Europe and Hungary. Over the centuries it gained town privileges and played a role in regional commerce, particularly during the trading era.

The name reflects Hungarian origins and the settlement's historic role as a trade hub between Moravia and Hungary. The central square and surrounding lanes still display this medieval layout that shapes how residents and visitors move through town.

The town center is walkable and fairly compact, allowing a pleasant stroll through its lanes. Visitors can find parking near the edges and easily access local shops and dining options from there.

The settlement was historically known for textile production, a craft that shaped many generations and whose traces remain visible today in older buildings and local traditions. This artisanal past distinguishes it from many other towns in the region.
