Vranov nad Dyjí, Medieval castle town in South Moravia, Czech Republic

The municipality occupies a strategic position at 312 meters elevation along the Dyje River, forming natural borders with Austria in the Znojmo District.

The first documented mention of Vranov nad Dyjí dates to 1100, with the castle changing ownership multiple times between noble families throughout medieval times.

The Baroque castle complex reflects architectural transformations from the 1680s when the Althann family renovated the medieval fortress into a grand residence.

The town serves as an administrative center for the surrounding region, providing municipal services to residents while maintaining historical monuments for visitors.

From 1790 to 1882, the town maintained a specialized earthenware manufactory producing distinctive wedgwood-type ceramics that gained regional recognition.
