The flag of the loooong village of Moravskoslezsk� Ko�ov, in Bruntal
district, east Czechia, is at this
page.
The municipality has 475 inhabitants. The village was formed by the
joining of the two originally separate villages known as Moravsk� Ko�ov
and Slezk� Ko�ov. Slezk� Ko�ov was founded as a settlement in 1544. The
first written record of Moravsk� Ko�ov comes from the church bell cast
in 1595. The two villages were joined in 1949. The Classicist Saint Michaels
parish church dating back to 1794, with a cemetery wall, is found in the
middle of the village. A Late Renaissance tower survives from an earlier
building. An original border stone marking the boundary between Moravia
and Silesia can be found by the road to Olomouc.
