The town is situated on the stretch of the Svitava river which marked the historical border between Bohemia and Moravia.

In the middle of the 18th century, a road was built through the town that connected Prague with Brno and Vienna, which helped the success of local manufactures.

Březová nad Svitavou is located on the main railway line heading from Prague to Brno.

[6] The main landmark of Březová nad Svitavou is the Church of Saint Bartholomew.

In front of the church stands an early Baroque column with a statue of the Madonna from 1690.
