Kunratice u Cvikova (German: Kunnersdorf) is a municipality and village in Česká Lípa District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Kunrát, meaning "the village of Kunrát's people".[2]
Kunratice u Cvikova is located about 13km (08miles) northeast of Česká Lípa and 25km (16miles) west of Liberec. It lies in the Ralsko Uplands. The highest point is the hill Dubina at 467m (1,532feet) above sea level. The northern half of the municipal territory lies within the Lusatian Mountains Protected Landscape Area. The Svitávka River flows through Kunratice u Cvikova. There are three ponds in the municipality.
The first written mention of Kunratice u Cvikova is from 1296.[3] The village was probably founded around 1278. In 1388, the village was acquired by the Berka of Dubá family and incorporated it under the Milštejn estate.[4]
The I/13 road (the section from Liberec to Děčín, which is a part of the European route E442) passes through the municipality.
The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built in the Empire style in 1833. In 2021, a valuable Holy Sepulchre (symbolic depiction of Christ's tomb) decorated with glass was discovered in the church.[5]
In the centre of the village stands a colored cast-iron statue of Emperor Joseph II from 1882.[6]
