Syrovice is a municipality and village in Brno-Country District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,100 inhabitants.
Syrovice is located about 13km (08miles) south of Brno. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Dyje–Svratka Valley.
The first written mention of Syrovice is from 1294. Until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in the 19th century, the village was divided into three parts with different owners. One part belonged to the Dolní Kounice estate, one part belonged to the Sokolnice estate and one part belonged to the Hajany estate.[2]
The D52 motorway (part of the European route E461) from Brno to the Czech-Austrian border in Mikulov passes through the municipal territory.
The main landmark of Syrovice is the Church of Saint Augustine. It was originally a Baroque chapel dating from 1775, extended into the church in 1862.[2] [3]
