Vizovice is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Zlín. It lies in the Vizovice Highlands. The highest point is a hill at 662 m (2,172 ft) above sea level. The Lutoninka River flows through the town.

History

The first written mention of Vizovice is from 1261, when it was owned by the newly established Smilheim monastery. During the Hussite Wars, the monastery and the village were badly damaged and looted. In 1483, the estate was acquired by the lords of Kunštát, and in 1485 the Cistercian monastery was definitely abolished.^[2]^[3]

In 1567, the estate was bought by Zdeněk Kavka of Říčany, who had built a Renaissance residence called Nový Smilheim in the fortified area of the abolished monastery. Vizovice received town privileges in 1570. In the second half of the 17th century, the estate became a property of the Gollen family. Shortly after, the town and the castle were burned down by Turkish invaders. In 1749–1770, during the rule of Count Hermann Hannibal of Blümegen, a new Baroque castle with French and English garden was built.^[2]^[3]
