Bílovec, Municipality with town privileges in Nový Jičín District, Czech Republic

Bílovec stands at an elevation of 243 meters above sea level, extending across 38 square kilometers in the Moravian-Silesian Region near Ostrava.

The municipality traces its origins to 1324 when Vok V of Kravaře established it at the intersection of two significant trade routes in the Duchy of Troppau.

The Renaissance town hall from 1593 and the Church of Saint Nicholas with its 50-meter tower represent the architectural heritage of Bílovec.

The municipality incorporates six administrative units including Bravinné, Lhotka, Lubojaty, Ohrada, Stará Ves, and Výškovice, serving approximately 7,400 residents.

The Bílovec Castle transformed from a fortress to its current Renaissance form in 1575, now houses multiple exhibitions and an art gallery.
