Valašské Klobouky

Valašské Klobouky is a municipality with market town status in Zlín District, located in a valley between the White Carpathians and Vizovice Highlands. The Klobučka River runs through its center at approximately 449 meters in elevation, and it comprises three administrative parts called Lipina, Mirošov, and Smolina.

First recorded in 1341, the town received market privileges in 1356 and was granted full city rights in the 16th century. These milestones transformed it from a small settlement into an important administrative and commercial center.

The Nicholas Market draws visitors each winter who witness regional crafts, local products, and folk performances reflecting traditions rooted in the area. The event shows how people here continue to celebrate customs passed down through generations.

The town has basic services and facilities spread throughout its center, with shops, restaurants, and accommodations available for visitors. The winter season brings the Nicholas Market, while warmer months offer easier access for exploring the surrounding countryside.

A Renaissance pillory stands in front of the Old Town Hall and ranks among the oldest preserved judicial monuments in the Czech Republic. This structure offers insight into how justice was administered and witnessed in the medieval settlement.
