Located in the Pardubice Region, close to the border between the Bohemian and Moravian parts of the Czech Republic, Moravska Trebova is a beautiful historic town with a population of about 10,000.

The town was founded in 1257 and it soon became the political, cultural and educational center of the region. From the 15th to the 17th century, Moravska Trebova was home to several noble families that built many impressive buildings there, including the famous chateau.

The Moravska Trebova Chateau is one of the most important Renaissance landmarks in the Czech Republic as well as in all Central Europe. It houses numerous collections of art works, paintings and other historic artifacts.

Once nicknamed "Moravian Athens" (due to its educational and scholarship significance), Moravska Trebova is also famous for picturesque historic houses located on the main square, impressive temples and churches, magnificent Renaissance town hall and other architectural jewels.

The town is surrounded by beautiful hilly landscape covered with many great hiking trails and bike lanes, which also makes it a popular destination among outdoor enthusiasts.
