Administrative parts[]

The Brumov-Bylnice is made up of town parts of Brumov and Bylnice, and of villages of Sidonie and Svatý Štěpán.

History[]

The first evidence of settlement dates back to the Paleolithic era. In the first half of the 13th century, a late-Romanesque royal castle was built there.

In the time of the First Czechoslovak Republic, a railway line was constructed in Brumov. On 14 June 1964, two municipalities Brumov and Bylnice were merged to form Brumov-Bylnice, which gained the status of a town on 1 January 1965. Since 15 July 1976, Svatý Štěpán has been part of the town. On 24 July 1997, Sidonie joined the town.

Sights[]

Among the most important monuments belong the ruins of the royal castle and the baroque sculpture from 1777, which is situated in the square. The historical centre of Brumov and nearby workers' colony were declared an urban monument zone in 1995.
