Černovice (German: Tschernowitz) is a town in Pelhřimov District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,800 inhabitants.
The villages of Benešov, Dobešov, Panské Mlýny, Rytov, Střítež, Svatava, Vackov and Vlkosovice are administrative parts of Černovice.
Černovice is located about west of Pelhřimov and 44km (27miles) west of Jihlava. It lies in the Křemešník Highlands. The highest point is a contour line at 730m (2,400feet) above sea level. The town is surrounded by several small fishponds.
The first written mention of Černovice is from 1322. From 1322 to 1597, it was a property of the Rosenberg family. Černovice was burned down during the Hussite Wars and damaged several times by fires between 1611 and 1857, so almost no historical buildings have survived to this day. Černovice was a market town, which was promoted to a town in the mid-19th century.[2]
There are no major roads passing through the town. The railway that passes through Černovice is unused.
The landmark of the town square is the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It was a Gothic church from the 14th century, rebuilt in the Baroque style. Next to the church is a separate bell tower.[3]
The Černovice Castle is a late Neoclassical building, surrounded by an extensive landscape park. Today it houses an institute of social care.[4]
