Bítouchov is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The villages of Dalešice and Dolánky are administrative parts of Bítouchov.
Bítouchov is located about 5km (03miles) north of Mladá Boleslav and 48km (30miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in the Jizera Table.
The first written mention of Bítouchov is from 1388. However, a mention of "Bítúch's court" allegedly appeared as early as the 12th century.[2] The village was part of the Zvířetice estate.[3]
The railway line Mladá Boleslav–Rumburk runs through the southern part of the municipality and along the northern municipal border, but there is no train station.
The only cultural monument in Bítouchov is the Chapel of the Virgin Mary, located in the centre of the village. It was built in the Empire style in 1830.[4]
