Velký Beranov (pronounced as /cs/) is a municipality and village in Jihlava District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants.
The villages of Bradlo and Jeclov are administrative parts of Velký Beranov.
Velký Beranov is located about 5km (03miles) east of Jihlava. It lies in the southern part of the Upper Sázava Hills. The highest point is at 563m (1,847feet) above sea level. The Jihlava River forms the southern municipal border.
The first written mention of Velký Beranov is from 1318.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality, but the D1 motorway from Prague to Brno runs close to the northern municipal border.
The main landmark of Velký Beranov is the Chapel of Saint Anne. It was built in the Neoclassical style in 1797.[3]
A valuable technical monument is a stone bridge on the western edge of the municipal territory: It was built in 1783–1785 as a part of the road from Brno to Jihlava. At the end of the 1930s, the road lost its importance and fell into disuse, but the bridge survived in its authentic form.[4]
