Jiříkov (Bruntál District)
Summary
Jiříkov (Girsig) is a municipality and village in Bruntál District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
Villages of Kněžpole, Křížov, Sovinec and Těchanov are administrative parts of Jiříkov.
Jiříkov is located about southwest of Bruntál and north of Olomouc. It lies in the Nízký Jeseník highlands. The highest point is located on the slopes of the Návrší hill, at above sea level. The Oslava River flows along the western municipal border.
The first written mention of Jiříkov is from 1264. Jiříkov was probably founded as part of the colonization activities of the Olomouc Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg. In 1494 the village belonged to the Sovinec estate.
Of the original row of buildings, only a few houses remained after World War II. Today the old part of the village consists mostly of new buildings.
The baroque Church of Saint Michael the Archangel dates from 1787. Its prismatic renaissance tower dates from 1605.
In the village of Sovinec there is the Sovinec castle, built before 1332.
Jiříkov and its inhabitants play a major role in Bohdan Sláma's film The Wild Bees.
