Svitavy

Svitavy Essentials

Svitavy features one of the Czech Republic's longest arcaded squares, lined with historic Renaissance and Baroque architecture. The city’s cultural heritage is anchored by the red-brick Ottendorfer Library and the globally unique Esperanto Museum. Visitors can explore the 12th-century Church of St. Giles or visit the Municipal Museum, which houses a specialized collection of historical laundry technology and an exhibition dedicated to local native Oskar Schindler.
