Turnov

Turnov is a municipality with town privileges that serves as the administrative center of Semily District in the Liberec Region of northern Czech Republic. The town sits on elevated terrain and hosts the district office that coordinates services for surrounding settlements.

The town received its formal privileges in 1272, establishing itself as an important administrative hub for the region. This early recognition shaped its role as a governing center that has continued through the centuries.

The municipality maintains active international connections through sister city relationships with Keszthely in Hungary and Reeuwijk in the Netherlands.

The town office is located on Antonína Dvořáka Street and handles administrative matters for the surrounding region. Visitors will find this to be the place for official services and coordination with other communities.

The town is divided into thirteen separate administrative subdivisions including Bukovina and Daliměřice, each with its own governance responsibilities. This dispersed structure means that local matters are handled across multiple smaller centers rather than from a single point.
