Brněnec, Industrial heritage site in Svitavy District, Czech Republic.
The municipality of Brněnec stretches along the Svitava River, containing four distinct villages at an elevation of 370 meters above sea level.
The Löw-Beer family transformed a paper mill into a textile factory in 1855, establishing a significant industrial presence in the region.
The Arts and Crafts style Evangelical church in Moravská Chrastová, constructed in 1889, represents the religious heritage of the community.
The municipality connects to major cities through the I/43 road, part of European route E461, providing direct access to Brno and Svitavy.
In 1944, Oskar Schindler relocated his enamelware factory to Brněnec, protecting 1,200 Jewish workers until liberation by the Red Army in 1945.
