Koryčany
Koryčany (German: Koritschan) is a town in Kroměříž District in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,700 inhabitants.
Koryčany consists of four municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
Koryčany is located about 26 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Kroměříž and 40 km (25 mi) east of Brno. The eastern part of the municipal territory lies in the Litenčice Hills. The western part lies in a forested landscape of the Chřiby range and includes the highest point of Koryčany, the hill Ocásek at 553 m (1,814 ft) above sea level.
The Kyjovka River flows through the town. The Koryčany Reservoir was built on the river in 1953–1958 for supplying the region with drinking water and as flood protection.
The first written mention of Koryčany is from 1321. In 1349, Koryčany was first referred to as a market town. The Cimburk Castle was built here between 1327 and 1333 and became the centre of the estate. In the 17th century, the castle lost its importance, and was abandoned in 1720.
The Jewish population was first documented in 1567. The community was at its peak in the mid-19th century. The last four families disappeared as a result of the Holocaust.
In 1967, Koryčany was promoted to a town. The formerly separate municipalities of Jestřabice and Lískovec were joined to Koryčany in 1976.
There are no major roads passing through the municipality. The railway that starts here is unused.
