Vnorovy is a municipality and village in Hodonín District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,900 inhabitants.
The village of Lidéřovice is an administrative part of Vnorovy.
Vnorovy is located about northeast of Hodonín and 60km (40miles) southeast of Brno. It lies on the border between the Vizovice Highlands and the Lower Morava Valley. The highest point is at 227m (745feet) above sea level. The Baťa Canal flows through the municipality. The Velička River flows along the southern municipal border.
The first written mention of Vnorovy is in a hoax that was created between 1267 and 1275. Lidéřovice was first mentioned in 1412. In 1673, Vnorovy was promoted to a market town, but later lost the title. The village and formerly independent municipality of Lidéřovice, which is urbanistically fused with Vnorovy, joined Vnorovy in 1960.[2]
Vnorovy is located on the railway line heading from Hodonín to Veselí nad Moravou and Vrbovce, Slovakia.[3]
The main landmark of Vnorovy is the Church of Saint Elizabeth. The church was first mentioned in 1378. As it was insufficient for the number of believers, it was demolished in 1908. The new larger building was built in the neo-Baroque style with Art Nouveau elements. It was completed in 1909.[4]
