Jezernice is a municipality and village in Přerov District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants.
Jezernice is located about 16km (10miles) northeast of Přerov and 25km (16miles) east of Olomouc. It lies in the Moravian Gate lowland. The Bečva River flows through the southern part of the municipality.
The first written mention of Jezernice is from 1353, when it was part of the Drahotuše estate. Among the most notable owners of the village were the Pernštejn family and Cardinal Franz von Dietrichstein.[2]
The D1 motorway (part of European route E462) from Brno to Ostrava runs north of Jezernice. The I/47 road (part of European route E442) from Přerov to Odry passes through the southern part of the municipality.
The major railway lines Prague–Púchov and Brno–Bohumín runs through the municipality, but there is no train station. The municipality is served by the station in neighbouring Lipník nad Bečvou.
Jezernice is known for a pair of adjacent railway viaducts, protected as a cultural monument. The southern brick viaduct was built for Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway in 1842 and the northern stone viaduct was added in 1873 to make the track double-track. They are 426m (1,398feet) and 415m (1,362feet) long and are made up of 42 arches.[3]
A notable landmark is the Church of Saint Martin, which dates from the 15th century.[2]
