Litenčice

A market town in the Litenčice Hills, about 19 km southwest of Kroměříž by road. The village of Strabenice is also part of it. Litenčice is mentioned in Bishop Zdík's charter of 1141, and on the Obecnice hill archaeologists excavated a Great Moravian burial ground with 153 graves. From 1713 the estate was held by the Thonsern family and after them by the Podstatský of Prusinovice until 1948.

The main landmark is the château, whose origins go back to the 15th century. The Podstatzký family regained it in restitution and is gradually restoring it; it opens to the public only for occasional tours, while the surrounding park is accessible. The baroque Church of St Peter and Paul dates from around 1700, and next to it stands a stone cross from 1757. The hilly countryside on the border of the Kroměříž and Vyškov regions invites walks and bike rides.
