The little town is situated in the valley of Morava Gate (Moravská brána) near the river Bečva is a characteristic example of the regular colonization urbanism of the 13th century. The impressive square is decorated with Late Gothic and Renaissance houses from the 15th and the 16th century (incl. The Renaissance Town Hall, adapted in Empire, and two Baroque fountains). The expressive dominant of the town is the Renaissance belfry from the early 17th century at the Church of St. Jacob. The Brethren Unity from the early 16th century reminds us of significant tradition of the Unitas Fratrum, later rebuilt and used by the piarists. An exceptional remainder of the local Jewish community is the Gothic Jewish synagogue from the late 15th century, one of the oldest in Moravia.
