Boskovice, Historic municipality in South Moravian Region, Czech Republic

The municipality spans across 27 square kilometers at 381 meters elevation, encompassing the central town and four surrounding villages: Bačov, Hrádkov, Mladkov, and Vratíkov.

The first written documentation of Boskovice dates to 1222, when Jimram of Boskovice served as a witness in a deed for King Ottokar I of Bohemia.

The Jewish Quarter contains multiple preserved structures including a synagogue from 1639, a ritual bath house, and a cemetery with centuries-old tombstones.

The town center provides administrative services for the broader region, functioning as a municipality with expanded powers and maintaining essential public facilities.

The Minerva Boskovice factory, established in 1881, continues its long tradition of manufacturing sewing machines as part of the German company Dürkopp Adler.
