Zdounky

A village below the northern foothills of the Chřiby, about 10 km south-west of Kroměříž, with the Kotojedka stream flowing through it. It is first mentioned in 1298 and from the mid-14th century had market-town rights. Several surrounding villages belong to it, such as Těšánky, Lebedov and Divoky.

Above the village stands the church of the Holy Trinity, documented since 1366. Its tower was added in 1570 and it was rebuilt in Baroque style in the 18th century; by the entrance is the coat of arms of the Zoubek of Zdětín family, and inside the tombstone of one of its members. There is also the chateau of the former owners of the estate with an English park from the 19th century. In Těšánky stands the wooden Zdenička lookout tower with views of the Chřiby, the Hostýn Hills and Kroměříž.
