Vítkov, Municipality in Opava District, Czech Republic
Vítkov stands at 480 meters above sea level in the Moravian-Silesian Region, encompassing several localities including Jelenice, Klokočov, and Lhotka.
The settlement originated in 1301 when Vítek of Kravaře established both the town and Vikštejn Castle during the second half of the thirteenth century.
The neo-Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, constructed between 1914 and 1918, represents the central architectural element of Vítkov.

During the nineteenth century industrialization period, Vítkov developed specialized textile manufacturing facilities producing gloves, ribbons, and silk products.
