Okříšky (Czech pronunciation: [ˈokr̝̊iːʃkɪ]) is a market town in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,000 inhabitants.

Etymology

According to one theory, the name is derived from the personal name Okřeša or Oskora. According to the second theory, the name is derived from okřísit (i.e. 'resurrect') and may have been created after the village disappeared and was then restored.[2]

Geography

Okříšky is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northwest of Třebíč and 21 km (13 mi) southeast of Jihlava. It lies on the border between the Jevišovice Uplands and Křižanov Highlands. The highest point is at 610 m (2,000 ft) above sea level. The stream of Okříšský potok flows through the market town and supplies the fishponds Pilný and Zámecký.

History

The first written mention of Okříšky is in a deed of Margrave John Henry from 1371, in which the margrave property is divided between his sons and the Rokštejn estate (including the village of Okříšky) was given to John Sobieslaw. In the 15th century, the Rokštejn estate became property of the Waldstein family. From 1466 to 1540, Okříšky was owned by the Petrovský of Hrochov family, then the owners often changed.[2]
