Straškov-Vodochody is a municipality in Litoměřice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,100 inhabitants.
The municipality consists of the villages of Straškov and Vodochody. They are urbanistically fused.
Straškov-Vodochody is located about southeast of Litoměřice and 31km (19miles) north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Lower Ohře Table.
The first written mention of Vodochody is from 999, when Duke Boleslaus II donated the village to the Ostrov Monastery in Davle.[2] The first written mention of Straškov is from 1271. The municipality was established on 1 January 1950 by the merger of the municipalities of Straškov and Vodochody.[3]
The D8 motorway from Prague to Ústí nad Labem runs near the northern municipal border.
Straškov is located on two railway lines of local importance: Roudnice nad Labem–Bříza and Straškov–Vraňany.[4]
The landmark of the municipality is the Church of Saint Wenceslaus in Straškov. The complex of the original Romanesque church from the 12th century was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 14th century, but several Romanesque elements have been preserved to this day. In the 18th century, baroque modifications were made.[5]
