Strakonice is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 22,000 inhabitants and is located at the confluence of the Volyňka and Otava rivers, north of the Bohemian Forest Foothills. The town's history is closely linked to the Knights Hospitaller; its principal landmark, the Strakonice Castle, is protected as a national cultural monument. The town has seen rapid industrialisation and urbanisation in the 19th and 20th centuries leading to the loss of many historical buildings and contributing to its modernist appearance. Strakonice is an important industrial centre, historically known for its engineering and textile industries. It hosts the globally significant biennial International Bagpipe Festival.
