Litvínovice (de|Leitnowitz) is a municipality and village in České Budějovice District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,800 inhabitants.
The villages of Mokré and Šindlovy Dvory are administrative parts of Litvínovice.
Litvínovice is located about 1km (01miles) west of České Budějovice. It lies in the České Budějovice Basin. The highest point is at 458m (1,503feet) above sea level. In the centre of the village is a system of fishponds, supplied by a local brook.
On 11 February 1929, the lowest temperature ever in the Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia of -42.2 °C was recorded in Litvínovice.[2]
The first written mention of Litvínovice is in a deed of Vok I of Rosenberg from 1259.[3]
The I/3 road (part of the European route E55), specifically the section from České Budějovice to the Czech-Austrian border in Dolní Dvořiště, runs through the municipality.
There are two protected cultural monuments: a stone niche chapel from 1834 and a water tank from 1875.[4]
