Bítovany is a municipality and village in Chrudim District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The village of Bítovánky is an administrative part of Bítovany.
Bítovany is located about 7km (04miles) southeast of Chrudim and 16km (10miles) south of Pardubice. Almost the entire municipal territory lies in an agricultural landscape of the Svitavy Uplands. The southernmost part extends into the Iron Mountains and includes the highest point of Bítovany at 315m (1,033feet) above sea level. The Ležák River flows through the municipality. The territory is rich in small fishponds.
The first written mention of Bítovany is from 1347.[2]
The railway line Pardubice–Havlíčkův Brod passes through the municipal territory, but there is no train station. Bítovany is served by the station in neighbouring Zaječice.[3]
The main landmark of Bítovany and the oldest building is the Church of Saint Bartholomew. It was first mentioned in 1350 as a Gothic parish church. After 1650, Baroque modifications were made. The current neo-Gothic appearance dates from 1883.[2]
