Depicted CoA of town Príbor decorates facade of Príbor Town Hall (radnice Príbor) located on the main historic public space of town Príbor - Sigmund Freud Square (Námestí Sigmunda Freuda).

Functionalist-style building of Town Hall, seat of the Príbor Municipal office, is only modern building in the main historic public space of town Príbor - Sigmund Freud Square (Námestí Sigmunda Freuda). New town hall was built at the site of old Renaissance town hall in 1936-1938 and despite its austere look it is nowadays also important architectural monument of the pre-WWII era...

Príbor (German: Freiberg in Mähren) is a town in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 8 600 inhabitants (as of 2013). It is located in northeastern Moravia, surrounded by the foothills of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids. Vriburch in the Margraviate of Moravia was first mentioned in a 1251 deed, issued by the Premyslid margrave Otakar II. The estates passed to the Bishops of Olomouc in the 14th century. St. John Sarkander attended the local parish school from 1589; in 1694 a Piarist gymnasium was established, whereafter Príbor developed to a centre of education. The town is notable as the birthplace, on 6 May 1856, of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. [Wiki]
