Městečko Trnávka (German: Markt Türnau) is a municipality and village in Svitavy District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants.
The villages of Bohdalov, Lázy, Ludvíkov, Mezihoří, Nová Roveň, Pacov, Petrůvka, Pěčíkov, Plechtinec, Přední Arnoštov and Stará Roveň are administrative parts of Městečko Trnávka.
Městečko Trnávka is located about east of Svitavy and 55km (34miles) north of Brno. It lies mostly in the Orlické Foothills, but the eastern part of the municipal territory extends into the Zábřeh Highlands and the southern part into the Boskovice Furrow. The highest point is the hill Hušák at 626m (2,054feet) above sea level.
A village called Staré Trnávky ("Old Trnávky") existed already in the 13th century and around 1300, the village of Nové Trnávky ("New Trnávky") was founded. The first written mention of them is from 1308.[2]
In 1918, both municipalities were merged under the name "Trnávka". In 1929, its name was changed to Městečko Trnávka.[3]
Due to the Munich Agreement, the municipality was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938. After World War II, the ethnically German inhabitants were lynched and subsequently expelled.[4] The area was later repopulated by Czechs.
Městečko Trnávka is located on the railway line Česká Třebová–Dzbel, but trains run on it only on weekends and holidays.[5]
The main landmarks of Městečko Trnávka are the ruin of the Cimburk Castle and the Church of Saint James the Great. The church is a late Baroque building from 1752.[6]
Cimburk Castle was founded around 1300. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was most likely rebuilt, fortified and expanded. It was destroyed in 1645 and became a ruin.[7]
