Karviná, Industrial municipality in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic
Karviná spans across nine distinct districts along the Olza River, with an urban core centered around the historic Fryštát neighborhood at 221 meters elevation.
The settlement received its first written documentation in 1268, transforming from a trade route stop into a coal mining center during the late 18th century.
The Fryštát Castle stands as the last remaining aristocratic residence from four original chateaux, now functioning as a public museum with guided tours.
The School of Business Administration of Silesian University operates in Karviná, offering higher education programs to local and international students.
The Darkov spa complex utilizes iodine-bromine water from the Tertiary period, making it among the earliest therapeutic facilities in Central Europe.
