Příbor: Hotels and accommodations

The birthplace of Sigmund Freud in Příbor now serves as the Sigmund Freud Museum and houses an interactive museum exhibition. The exhibition “Sigmund Freud – člověk” is on display in the museum.

Culture

The exhibition at CETRAT includes Příbor slippers made using an archaic knitting technique over a form, as well as objects made from roots, grasses, cattails, pine-needle fibers, straw and horsehair.

The Piarist Monastery in Příbor is designated as an immovable cultural monument. It houses the Novojičínsko Museum with a memorial hall dedicated to Sigmund Freud. The renovated rooms in the west wing are used for social events, weddings, concerts and lectures. The former refectory was reopened after a complete reconstruction.

The Parish Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Příbor is a late Gothic, three-nave building dating from around 1400. St. Valentine’s Church was rebuilt in its present Baroque form in 1760–1766; its high altar is decorated with a silver-plated relief depicting events from the life of Saint Valentine. The Church of the Holy Cross in Příbor and the cross there are registered as national cultural monuments.

The educational trail through the Příbor urban heritage conservation area has eight stops. It is suitable for pedestrians, cyclists and parents with children in strollers, begins and ends at Sigmund Freud Square, and features an information board there with an audioguide in Czech, English and German.

Nature

The Borovecké rybníky educational trail is located in the Borovec district of the city of Příbor and has around six information boards around Borovec Pond. The Borovecké rybníky near Příbor are two small ponds whose banks are home to the protected Turk’s cap lily and the early-spring snowdrop. When weather conditions are suitable, swimming is possible at the weir by the Borovecké rybníky.
