Chromeč is a municipality and village in Šumperk District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
Chromeč is located about 6km (04miles) southwest of Šumperk and 45km (28miles) northwest of Olomouc. It lies in the Mohelnice Depression valley. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Morava River.
The first written mention of Chromeč is from 1353, when the recent area was divided into several parts kept by multiple owners. From 1658 until the abolishment of manorialism in 1848, Chromeč was a part of the Bludov estate.[2]
During World War II, the German occupiers operated the E384 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3]
From 1976 to 1990, Chromeč was an administrative part of Bludov. The municipality became autonomous on 24 November 1990.[4]
The I/11 road, which connects Hradec Králové with Šumperk and continues further to Ostrava, passes through the municipality.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[5] The main landmark of Chromeč is the modern Church of Saint John of Nepomuk.
