The villages of Březce and Moravská Huzová are administrative parts of Štěpánov.
Geographyedit
Štěpánov is located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Olomouc. It lies in a flat landscape in the Upper Morava Valley. It is located in the fertile agricultural region of Haná between the Oskava and Morava rivers, which form parts of the municipal border. The Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area extends into the municipal territory in the west.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Štěpánov is in a donation deed of King Ottokar I of Bohemia from 1201. Moravska Huzová was first mentioned in a deed of Bishop Jindřich Zdík from 1141. Březce was first mentioned in 1276. In 1845, the railway was put into operation.[2]
From 1976, Liboš was an administrative part of Štěpánov, but it became independent again on 24 November 1990.[3] Štěpánov obtained the town status in 2020.[4]
The most notable building is the Church of Saint Lawrence. The construction of this Baroque church was finished in 1773.[8]
The Church of Saint Barbara was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1872–1875 according to the design by Friedrich von Schmidt. It was built in a workers' colony for the needs of the German minority. After World War II it served as a warehouse. Today it is owned by the town and serves cultural and social purposes.[9]
