Běrunice is a municipality and village in Nymburk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
The villages of Běruničky, Slibovice, Velké Výkleky and Vlkov nad Lesy are administrative parts of Běrunice.
Běrunice is located about east of Nymburk and 56km (35miles) east of Prague. Most of the municipal territory lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. However, the northeastern part extends into the East Elbe Table and includes the highest point of Běrunice at 272m (892feet) above sea level. The stream of Štítarský potok flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Běrunice is from 1354. The nearby villages of Běruničky and Nový were historically administered by Běrunice, but Nový was attached to Městec Králové in 1950. In 1965, the municipalities of Slibovice, Velké Výkleky, Vlkov nad Lesy and Kněžičky were merged with Běrunice, but Kněžičky became independent again in 1990.[2]
Běrunice is located on the railway line Městec Králové–Stará Paka.[3]
The main landmark of Běrunice is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. It is a simple Baroque church from 1718, which replaced a demolished medieval church from the 14th century.[4]
