Ostrov, Heritage town in Karlovy Vary District, Czech Republic
Situated at 398 meters above sea level, Ostrov nad Ohří extends across a varied landscape with the River Bystřice flowing through its center.
The town's foundation dates to 1269 during King Ottokar II of Bohemia's rule, maintaining its royal status until the 15th century.
The preserved Gothic ground plan of Ostrov's center features architectural elements from various periods, including the 14th-century St. Michael's Church.
Two information centers at Mírové náměstí and the Old Townhall provide visitors with details about local attractions and regional activities.
The 1950s housing developments represent notable examples of socialist realism architecture found in the Czech Republic.
