Rokytnice nad Rokytnou is a market town in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
Rokytnice nad Rokytnou is located about 8km (05miles) southwest of Třebíč and 27km (17miles) southeast of Jihlava. It lies in the Jevišovice Uplands. The highest point is at 587m (1,926feet) above sea level. The Rokytná River originates here and flows through the market town.
The first written mention of Rokytnice is in the foundation deed of the Louka Monastery from 1190. It was owned by various lower nobles. From 1695, it was part of the Sádek estate.[2]
In 1880, Rokytnice nad Rokytnou was promoted to a market town.[3]
The I/23 road (the section from Třebíč to Jindřichův Hradec) passes through the northern part of the municipal territory.
The main landmark is the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It has a Romanesque core. It was rebuilt into its present Baroque form in 1750.[4] [5]
