Dukovany

Dukovany is a municipality and village in Třebíč District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic.

The Jihlava and the Mohelno Reservoir, built on the river, form the northern municipal border.

[3] In 1325, King John of Bohemia sold the settlement to Jindřich of Lipá, which indicates that the Dukovany family had died out at that time.

In 1974–1987, a nuclear power station was constructed with a northern by-pass road and housing area for about 1,500 workers, which was the reason for demolishing the villages of Skryje, Heřmanice, and Lipany.

There are no railways (except for the spur line for the needs of the nuclear power station) or major roads passing through the municipality.

Its two large halls are decorated with frescoes by the important Moravian late Baroque painter Josef Winterhalder.
