Prosiměřice (German: Prossmeritz) is a market town in Znojmo District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
The name was probably derived from the personal name Prosimír.[2]
Prosiměřice is located about 11km (07miles) northeast of Znojmo and 43km (27miles) southwest of Brno. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Dyje–Svratka Valley. The highest point is at 254m (833feet) above sea level. The market town is situated on the right bank of the Jevišovka River.
The first written mention of Prosiměřice is from 1226, in the document according to which King Ottokar I submitted Prosiměřice to the Louka Monastery in exchange for other village. In 1540, Prosiměřice was promoted to a market town by Emperor Ferdinand I.[3]
Prosiměřice is known for viticulture. It lies in the Znojemská wine subregion.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Prosiměřice is the Church of Saint Giles. It was built in the early Gothic style in the second half of the 13th century. In 1543 and in the 19th century, it was rebuilt into its present form.[4]
