Velké Chvojno (until 1948 České Chvojno; German: Böhmisch Kahn, 1940–1945 Kahn über Bodenbach) is a municipality and village in Ústí nad Labem District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
The villages of Arnultovice, Luční Chvojno, Malé Chvojno, Mnichov and Žďár are administrative parts of Velké Chvojno.
Velké Chvojno is located about 5km (03miles) north of Ústí nad Labem. It lies mostly in the Central Bohemian Uplands and in the eponymous protected landscape area. The western part of the municipal territory extends into the Most Basin. The highest point is a hill at 529m (1,736feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of České Chvojno is from 1352, when it was part of the Krupka estate. It was probably founded in the 13th century. However, the oldest part of today's municipality is the village of Žďár, which was first mentioned in 1227.[2]
In 1948, the municipality was renamed from České Chvojno to its current name.[3]
The I/13 road (the section from Teplice to Děčín) runs along the western municipal border.
During the tourist season, on weekends and holidays, a train on the Děčín–Telnice line runs through Malé Chvojno. The ČSD Class M 152.0 retro train drives there.[4]
The most notable building of the municipality is the Church of All Saints in Arnultovice. It was originally a late Gothic church, first mentioned in 1352. It 1798, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style and was enlarged.[2]
