Varnsdorf (IPA2|ˈvarnzdorf; German: "Warnsdorf") is a town in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic, with a population of around 16,000. The town is close to the border with Germany, having a border crossing to the Saxon town of Seifhennersdorf, and is the second largest in the Děčín District.

The village of Varnsdorf was first recorded in the 14th century, and it united with nearby villages in 1849 to form the largest village in the Austrian Empire. It was made a town in 1868. The town was one of the early sites of Old Catholic Church, and an Old Catholic cathedral remains a tourist attraction. The population has declined somewhat since its peak - the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica gives it as 20,000, and noted it was a textile town. Around 2500 buddhist Vietnamese live in and around Varnsdorf, the city hosts the first buddhist temple in Czech Republic [ [http://www.buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=3,5874,0,0,1,0 Buddhist Channel | Buddhism News, Headlines | Europe | Czech Republic first Buddhist temple opens ] ]
