Bánov (Uherské Hradiště District)

Bánov is a municipality and village in Uherské Hradiště District in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic.

Due to its proximity to the border with Kingdom of Hungary, the castle was used for defensive purposes, but it was demolished during the Hussite Wars and disappeared during the 15th century.

[2] In 1570, Bánov was promoted to a market town by Emperor Maximilian II, but it later lost the title.

[2] The I/50 road (part of the European route E50), which connects Brno with the Czech-Slovak border in Starý Hrozenkov via Uherské Hradiště, passes through the municipality.

It was built in the early Baroque style in 1691–1699 and rebuilt to its present form in 1786–1787.
