Masaryk Square - Hodonín, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

Hodonín is located about 51 kilometres southeast of Brno, on the border with Slovakia. It lies in a flat landscape of the Lower Morava Valley. It is situated on the right bank of the Morava River, which forms here the Czech-Slovak border.

The postcard depicts two main sights of town - the Church of Saint Lawrence and the Town Hall, both located on the Maasaryk Square. The church is originally a Gothic structure from the first half of the 13th century, baroque rebuilt in 1780–1786. The Town Hall was built in the Art Nouveau style in 1902–1904, by architect Ernst von Gotthilf in 1902–1904. Its tower is open to the public as a lookout tower.

The town of Hodonín is associated with the name of T.G. Masaryk (abbreviated as TGM).

Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (7 March 1850 – 14 September 1937) was a Czechoslovak statesman, political activist and philosopher who served as the first President of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1935. He is regarded as the founding father of Czechoslovakia.

Behind the town hall, there is a museum named after Masaryk, which documents the life of TGM from his childhood through his studies and work in Vienna, his scientific and political activities from 1882 to 1918, his presidency, family life, and ultimately his death in 1937.
