Brumov-Bylnice is a town in the Zlín Region, Czech Republic. It is located 7 km from Valašské Klobouky.
The first evidence of settlement dates back to the Older Stone Age. In the first half of the 13th century a late-Romanesque royal castle was built there.
In the times of the First Republic a railway line was constructed in cs:Brumov. On the 14th of June 1964 two villages, cs:Brumov and cs:Bylnice, were united and formed Brumov-Bylnice, that gained the status of a town on the 1st of January 1965. Since the 15th of July 1976 cs:Svatý Štěpán has been part of the town and on the 24th of July 1997 also cs:Sidonie joined the town.
Among the most important monuments belong the ruins of the royal castle and the baroque sculpture from the year 1777, which is situated in the square. The historical centre of Brumov and nearby workers colony were declared town monumental zones in 1995.
