Město Ivančice

The town of Ivančice consists of seven local parts, of which Alexovice, Němčice and Letkovice are structurally connected to Ivančice proper, and the local parts of Budkovice, Hrubšice and Řeznovice are located further from the center.

The town of Ivančice has been a municipality with extended jurisdiction since 2003, with 9888 inhabitants as of 1 January 2023.

The city is located at 49°6'N latitude, 34°2'E longitude, mainly on the left bank of the Jihlava river, in a valley 209 m above sea level and is surrounded by hills on three sides - in the east St. Jakub (355 m above sea level), in the southeast the Réna (310 m above sea level) and in the north the nameless hill behind the brickyard (250 m above sea level). Three of the main Western European rivers Jihlava, Oslava and Rokytná flow here. Ivančicko is drained by the Jihlava, which continues southeast to Dyje through Moravia to the Black Sea.

It is one of the oldest towns in Moravia, as its foundation dates back to the reign of Margrave Vladislav Jindřich, who ruled from 1196 to 1222. Ivančice experienced its greatest prosperity in the 16th century, when it was the seventh to eighth largest town in Moravia. The local winery used to be a big source. Already on the oldest surviving city seal (1382) there are three wine vats, later cups, as a symbol.
