Vyškov

Vyškov is a town in South Moravia comprising thirteen neighborhoods including Brňany, Dědice, and Rychtářov. The Haná River flows through the region, shaping the town's landscape.

First documented in 1141 under Bishop Jindřich Zdík of Olomouc, the town developed under episcopal control. This religious administration left lasting marks on its character and layout.

The Renaissance town hall from 1569 anchors the town center as a defining structure. Inside the former castle, traditional Moravian ceramics and local historical pieces are displayed for visitors.

The town serves as a military training hub with a large garrison hosting numerous units and facilities. Be aware that some areas may have restricted access due to active military operations.

The central Masarykovo Square displays a baroque fountain showing the mythological scene of Ganymede riding an eagle. Next to it stands a plague column from 1719 commemorating an earlier epidemic.
