Kravaře consists of three municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] Kravaře is located about 6 kilometres (4 mi) east of Opava and 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Ostrava.

[3] The next important owner of Kravaře was Michael Sendivogius, who received the estate during the Thirty Years' War.

In 1721–1728, Jan Rudolf Eichendorff had rebuilt the fortress into a late Baroque castle.

During World War II, it was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of Reichsgau Sudetenland.

In 1960, Kouty and Dvořisko were annexed to Kravaře and the new municipality gained the status of a town.

Today it serves as a cultural and social centre and houses a museum with permanent baroque and ethnographic exhibitions.

The oldest part of the church is the white Renaissance tower from the early 16th century.

The neo-Gothic church complex which includes the nave, the rectory and the former convent of the Sisters of the Heart of God (today the town hall), was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
