Culture and crafts

Bystřice pod Hostýnem still has a tradition of furniture manufacturing. The vibrant folklore traditions from the border region between Valašsko and Záhoří culminate every two years in the international festival “Na rynku v Bystřici”.

On the ground floor of the main building of Bystřice pod Hostýnem Castle, the “Keramika, Bystřické cechy a Pracovna Františka Táborského” exhibition displays ceramics from the 18th and 19th centuries. The section on the guilds of Bystřice presents the craftsmen of the Podhostýnsko microregion. A separate exhibition on historical bentwood furniture covers furniture from the Thonet, Kohn, Fischel and Mundus brands. Its period spans from the second half of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century.

The Thonet Villa was built between 1873 and 1877 as a residence for the manufacturer’s family. Today, it houses a modern sales exhibition by TON, a. s., a manufacturer of bentwood furniture that continues the Thonet tradition. The “Expozice napoleonských vojáků” exhibition presents a military field hospital, the uniforms of a surgeon and his assistant, replicas of firearms and edged weapons, as well as artillery and drummer equipment.

For practical planning, you can compare hotel offers in Bystřice pod Hostýnem. Before booking, check the exact location, the type of accommodation and the intended occupancy. Also pay attention to which services are included, which price components make up the total amount and what booking or cancellation conditions apply. This makes it possible to compare different offers using the same criteria. When there are several options, it is worth reviewing the same points in the same order: first the exact location, then the type of accommodation and occupancy, followed by the included services. An indicated total amount should also be checked against the individual price components. Also check whether deadlines, payment rules or cancellation conditions differ. Comparability does not result from a blanket assessment, but from examining the specific fields of each offer. This keeps it clear which differences actually affect the final amount and the terms and conditions.
