Kuřim, Administrative municipality in Brno-Country District, Czech Republic.

Located 13 kilometers northwest of Brno, Kuřim extends across the Bobrava Highlands with sections reaching into the Drahany Highlands at 286 meters elevation.

The first recorded mention of Kuřim appears in a 1226 charter by King Ottokar I regarding tithe payments to the Church of Saints Peter and Paul.

The Renaissance castle, transformed from a Gothic fortress, hosts art exhibitions and summer cultural events in its courtyard throughout the year.

The town connects to major transport routes through railway lines linking Tišnov, Židlochovice, and Brno, with an industrial zone in the northern section.

Water flows through pine wood pipes into the Water Chapel of St. Jan Nepomuk, situated at the foot of Kuřim Hill in the southeastern part.
