Široká Niva: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Široká Niva lies in the rolling landscape of the Nízký Jeseník in the Opava Valley. Almost 72 % of the municipality’s area is forested; the municipality also includes the Kunov Nature Reserve, designated in 1997. The Tlustá Berta silver fir (Abies alba) stands in the cadastral area of Široká Niva.

Culture and Townscape

Široká Niva is home to St. Martin’s Church, a parish church completed in 1721 and protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. It is a single-nave, longitudinally oriented masonry Baroque building with a prismatic tower on the central axis of the façade. The complex also includes a 16th-century rectory, which was modified in the Baroque style and given an Empire-style façade.

The Liechtenstein chateau dating from the 18th century now serves as the town hall. Široká Niva is also home to a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk.
