Prušánky is a municipality and village in Hodonín District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,200 inhabitants.
Geography
Prušánky is located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of Hodonín and 48 km (30 mi) southeast of Brno. It lies on the border between the Kyjov Hills and Lower Morava Valley. The highest point is at 260 m (850 ft) above sea level. The Prušánka Stream flows through the municipality.
History
The first written mention of Prušánky is from 1261, when the village was donated to the newly established Smilheim monastery. In 1497, after the monastery was abolished, Prušánky was acquired by the Lords of Kunštát. In the second half of the 16th century, a community of the Anabaptists settled in the village. Prušánky suffered greatly in 1605 (during the Bocskai uprising) and during the Thirty Years' War. More than half of the homesteads were abandoned after the war, making the village one of the least affected in the region. In 1842 and 1846, Prušánky was hit by severe fires.[2]
