Křenovice is a municipality and village in Vyškov District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,100 inhabitants.
Křenovice is located about southwest of Vyškov and 15km (09miles) east of Brno. It lies in the Dyje–Svratka Valley. The highest point is at 273m (896feet) above sea level. The Rakovec River flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Křenovice is from 1305.[2] In the 15th century, the village was annexed to the Slavkov estate. During the Thirty Years' War, most of the village was destroyed. During the 18th century, the population grew significantly. The development of Křenovice ended in 1805, when the Battle of Austerlitz took place nearby and caused a smallpox epidemic and material damage.[3]
Two different railway lines run through Křenovice. The Křenovice dolní nádraží station is located on the line Brno–Uherské Hradiště.[4] The Křenovice horní nádraží station is a terminus and starting point of the line from/to Skalice nad Svitavou via Brno.[5]
The main landmark of Křenovice is the Church of Saint Lawrence. It was originally a medieval Gothic church. In the mid-19th century, it was extended to its present form.[6]
