Hulín

Hulín lies in the Haná region, about 10 km east of Kroměříž by road. The first written mention of the town dates from 1224. In the 1840s the railway arrived, and industry came with it. The town is still an important transport hub today: a railway junction and the place where the D1, D49 and D55 motorways meet.

Its most valuable monument is a Romanesque portal of light sandstone from the first half of the 13th century. It adorned the main entrance in the north wall of the original Church of St Wenceslas; in the 17th century a porch known as the “žebračka” was built in front of it, which still protects it from the weather. The Museum of František Skopalík is in the local district of Záhlinice.

In summer you can visit the outdoor swimming pool or the open-air cinema; the cultural programme is organised by the Hulín Municipal Cultural Centre.
