Doubravník is a market town in Brno-Country District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants. The historic centre is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone.
The village of Křížovice is an administrative part of Doubravník.
Doubravník is located about northwest of Brno. It lies in the Upper Svratka Highlands. The highest point is a hill on the northern municipal border at 558m (1,831feet) above sea level. The built-up area is situated in a valley of the Svratka River.
The first written mention of Doubravník is from 1208, when a Franciscan convent was founded here and a church consecrated to the Holy Cross already stood here. The most notable owners of Doubravník were the Pernštejn family.[2]
Doubravník is located on the railway line Žďár nad Sázavou–Tišnov.[3]
The main landmark is the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It was built in the Gothic-Renaissance style in 1535–1541. It is the only religious building in the country that is made of marble.[2] [4] The church includes the neo-Gothic tomb of the Mitrovský family from 1867. The tomb contains 19 cast iron sarcophagi with craft, historical and architectural value.[5]
The town square contains preserved old houses. The house No. 35 is older than the church and has valuable Gothic gate.[6]
