Břeclav, Border town in South Moravia, Czech Republic

Located 50 kilometers southeast of Brno, Břeclav sits at the confluence of the Thaya and Morava rivers near the Austrian border.

The settlement emerged around a border castle established by Duke Bretislav I in 1046, marked by its Latin name Bretyzlawe in historical records.

The Renaissance castle, Church of Saint Wenceslaus, and historical Jewish cemetery represent the architectural heritage spanning multiple centuries in Břeclav.

The railway station functions as a major transportation hub connecting Prague and Brno with Vienna through regular international train services.

Archaeological findings reveal the presence of Pohansko, a significant center of Great Moravia established in the late 8th century near present-day Břeclav.
