Kurdějov (German: Gurdau) is a municipality and village in Břeclav District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
Kurdějov is located about north of Břeclav and 27km (17miles) south of Brno. It lies in the Ždánice Forest range. The highest point is the hill Holý vrch at 401m (1,316feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Kurdějov is from 1286. From the early 14th century to 1594, the village was owned by the Lords of Lipá. In the 14th century, Anabaptists settled in the village.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Kurdějov is the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. A hundred years later it was fortified. A system of underground passages leads from the church to the surroundings.[3]
