Strmilov (German: Tremles) is a town in Jindřichův Hradec District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants.
The villages of Česká Olešná, Leština, Malý Jeníkov and Palupín are administrative parts of Strmilov.
Strmilov is located about 13km (08miles) east of Jindřichův Hradec. It lies on the border between the Javořice Highlands, where most of the built-up area is located, and the Křemešník Highlands. The town is situated along the stream of Hamerský potok. The built-up area is surrounded by fields and forests with several small fishponds.
Strmilov lies on the border of historical lands of Moravia and Bohemia; the confluence of two brooks near Strmilov is the westernmost point of Moravia.
The original settlement was probably established at the beginning of 13th century. The first written mention of Strmilov is from 1255. In 1294, it was already titled as a market village. In 1385, it is referred to as a market town.[2]
In 1945, the German population was expelled according to the Beneš decrees.
The I/23 road (the section from Jindřichův Hradec to Třebíč) passes through the town.
The main landmark of the town is the Church of Saint Giles. It was built in the Empire style in 1843–1849.[3]
