Frenštát pod Radhoštěm (Czech pronunciation: [ˈfrɛnʃtaːt ˈpod radɦoʃcɛm]; German: Frankstadt (unter dem Radhoscht)) is a town in Nový Jičín District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.
The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone.
The western part of the municipal territory extends into the Moravian-Silesian Beskids and contains the highest point of Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, the hill Vlčina at 532 m (1,745 ft) above sea level.
[2][3] The Thirty Years' War affected the town severely as it was burned down in 1626, and occupied by the Swedes in 1646.
The development ended with the World War II as the town was occupied by the Axis, but was liberated on 6 May 1945.
It was built in the Italianizing spirit in 1889–1891 on the site of an older town hall from 1796, and has an accessible tower.
[9] A technical monument is a fruit dryer built according to the design of Dušan Jurkovič in 1899.
