Chvalovice (German: Kallendorf) is a municipality and village in Znojmo District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants.
The hamlet of Hatě is an administrative part of Lažánky.
Chvalovice is located about 7km (04miles) southeast of Znojmo and 57km (35miles) southwest of Brno, on the border with Austria. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Dyje–Svratka Valley. The highest point is at 270m (890feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Chvalovice is from 1279. The owners of the village often changed; among the most important were the Dietrichstein family, the Jesuit college in Znojmo and the Cistercian monastery in Tišnov. From the 17th century until 1784, it was property of the Premonstratensian Louka Monastery.[2]
On the Czech-Austrian border is the road border crossing Hatě / Kleinhaugsdorf. The I/38 road (part of the European route E59) from Znojmo to the Czech-Austrian border passes through the municipality.
The main landmark of Chvalovice is the Church of Saint Margaret. It is a Baroque building with a late Gothic core from the 15th century.[3]
