Mokrosuky is a municipality and village in Klatovy District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.
The village of Lešišov is an administrative part of Mokrosuky.
Mokrosuky is located about southeast of Klatovy and 50km (30miles) south of Plzeň. It lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills. The highest point is at 687m (2,254feet) above sea level. The Ostružná River flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Mokrosuky is from 1418. Until 1560, it belonged to the Velhartice estate. In 1560, the village was annexed to the Kolinec estate.[2]
The railway line Klatovy–Horažďovice runs through the municipality. However, the train station named Mokrosuky is located in the territory of neighbouring Hrádek-Kašovice.
The most important monument is the former Gothic water fortress from the 15th century, rebuilt in 1579 into a Renaissance castle.[2] [3] Today it open to the public.[4]
The Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus dates from the end of the 18th century. At the end of the 19th century, it was reconstructed in the pseudo-Gothic style.[5]
