History & geography

History

The first written mention of Jimramov is from 1361. A fortress in Jimramov is documented in 1392. In 1537, Jimramov was promoted to a market town by King Ferdinand I. Until 1588, the estate was owned by the Pernštejn family, who sold it to Pavel Katharin of Kathar. This nobleman chose Jimramov as his seat and had the town hall and a castle built here. Jimramov reached the greatest prosperity in the 18th century. It became the cultural centre of evangelicals. From 1778 until 1948, the castle was owned by the Italian noble family of Belcredi. In 1991, the Belcredi family regained the castle in restitution.

Geography

Jimramov is located about east of Žďár nad Sázavou and northwest of Brno. It lies in the Upper Svratka Highlands, on the border of the Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area. The highest point is the hill Pavlův kopec at above sea level. The Svratka River flows through the market town.
