Studénka

Studénka is a town in Nový Jičín District that spans both sides of the historical boundary between Moravia and Czech Silesia. It sits at an elevation of around 239 meters and is crossed by a major international railway route.

The town developed after railway construction in the 1880s, when lines connected it to Štramberk and Bílovec. The establishment of a railway car factory in 1900 shaped its industrial growth and character.

The neo-Gothic Church of Saint Bartholomew, constructed in 1880, stands as the main religious building, replacing a wooden structure from the 16th century.

The town sits on the international railway line between Kraków and Prague, offering good access for travelers. Proximity to the D1 motorway provides additional connections northward.

The town features a castle with two distinct construction phases: the older structure dates from 1705, while a second was built in 1750. A connecting tower erected between 1860 and 1863 joins both parts into a unified complex.
