Sovínky is a market town in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The name is a diminutive of the name Sovenice, derived from the personal name Sovin.[2]
Sovínky is located about 10km (10miles) southwest of Mladá Boleslav and 36km (22miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat and mostly agricultural landscape in the Jizera Table. The highest point is the flat hill Niměřický vrch at 290m (950feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Sovínky is from 1360.[3] The village was promoted to a market town in 1594.[4]
From 1972 to 1990, it was an administrative part of Bezno. Since 1990, it has been a sovereign municipality. The title of a market town was returned to Sovínky in 2006.[5]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Sovínky is the Sovínky Castle from 1903. Another monument is the town hall, a historic house built in 1640.[6]
