Litenčice (German: Litentschitz) is a market town in Kroměříž District in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
Geography[]
The town is located within the Litenčice Hills in the historic Moravia region, approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) south-west of Kroměříž, 34 km (21 mi) west of Zlín, and 224 km (139 mi) south-east of Prague.
History[]
Archaeological findings of an early medieval burial site denote a settlement already during the Great Moravian realm. Lutincicih was first mentioned in an 1141 deed issued by Jindřich Zdík, Bishop of Olomouc, in a rental of the Spytihněv archdeaconry.[2]
From the mid 14th century, Lyvtenczicz Castle served as the seat of several Moravian noble families. First documented in 1437, when it was held by the Zástřizl dynasty, it was largely rebuilt as a Baroque palace in the 17th century under Péter Pázmány, Archbishop of Esztergom.
