Radimichi

Radimichi is a sparsely populated village situated in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic, within the administrative jurisdiction of the Uherský Brod District in the South Moravian Region. Covering an area of approximately 4.2 square kilometers, the settlement hosts a modest population of around 350 residents, according to the most recent census conducted in 2021. The village’s geography is characterized by gently rolling hills and mixed forestland, with a small tributary of the Dyje River flowing through its outskirts. Agriculture, primarily crop cultivation and small-scale livestock rearing, remains the dominant economic activity among locals, supplemented by artisanal manufacturing and seasonal tourism catering to visitors drawn by the region’s natural scenery and traditional Moravian culture.

The first documented mention of Radimichi dates back to the late 13th century, when records indicate the existence of a small fortified farmstead within the surrounding forest. Over subsequent centuries, the settlement remained largely agrarian, with population growth occurring steadily after the nineteenth century. In postwar years, Radimichi was incorporated into the newly established Záhorská administrative district, later realigned under the current Uherský Brod governance structure following the administrative reforms of 2000. The village maintains a local church, St. Michael’s Church, which dates to the mid‑16th century and is recognized as a protected cultural monument. Notable cultural traditions include an annual harvest festival featuring folk music, dance, and regional cuisine, reflecting the community’s longstanding agricultural heritage.
