Vizovice, Municipality with town privileges in Zlín District, Czech Republic
Vizovice is a town with special privileges in the Zlín District, located in rolling eastern Moravian countryside. The settlement features a historic core surrounded by residential neighborhoods and green spaces organized along main thoroughfares.
The area was settled from 1261 with the founding of Smilheim monastery, which fell into ruin during the Hussite Wars. These early conflicts shaped the place's long-term development.
The Masters of Rock heavy metal festival draws thousands of music enthusiasts to the municipality each summer for performances by international metal bands.
The town connects to surrounding cities via the I/49 road heading toward the Czech-Slovak border. Regular train service links it to Otrokovice and beyond.
The Rudolf Jelínek distillery opened in 1882 and continues producing plum brandy using methods recorded since the 16th century. This facility represents an unbroken tradition of regional craftsmanship.
