History
Branná (that time known under the name Goldenstein/Kolštejn) was founded around 1282 as a settlement on an old trade route to Silesia. The first written mention of the Kolštejn Castle is from 1325. The castle was probably built in 1308–1310. After the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, Kolštejn was confiscated from its owners and acquired by the Liechtenstein family. During their rule, the town and the castle lost their importance. In 1918, the municipality acquired the castle.
Geography
Branná is located about north of Šumperk and north of Olomouc. It lies in the northern part of the Hanušovice Highlands. The highest point is a hill at above sea level. The village of Branná is situated on a rocky cliff above the Branná River.
