Now it is a cozy, quiet Czech town, which would be similar to other provincial towns, were it not for several major local attractions that are sure to see. These important artifacts related diploma Margrave Přemysl on which in 1234 received city rights Unicov. Such ancient document of this kind in the Czech Republic is no longer preserved, so the local diploma is considered to be unique.
