Strachotín is a municipality and village in Břeclav District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
Strachotín is located about northwest of Břeclav and 31km (19miles) south of Brno. It lies in the northwestern tip of the Lower Morava Valley. It is situated on the shores of the Nové Mlýny Reservoir and Strachotínský Pond.
The first written mention of Strachotín is from 1046. In 1334, it was promoted to a market town. During the Thirty Years' War, Strachotín was completely burned down. After World War II, the municipality lost its market town title.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Strachotín is the Church of Saints Ulrich, Cyril and Methodius. It was built in the Renaissance style in 1575, but the core is possibly older. In 1872, the church was rebuilt to its present form. It has many valuable architectural elements in both the exterior and interior.[3]
