It has about 1,200 inhabitants.
Administrative division
Rouchovany consists of two municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
- Rouchovany (1,043)
- Šemíkovice (75)
Geography
Rouchovany is located about 23 km southeast of Třebíč and 38 km southwest of Brno. It lies in the Jevišovice Uplands. The highest point is the Cibuluška hill at 418 m above sea level. The Rouchovanka Stream flows through the municipality. The Rokytná River, to which the Rouchovanka is going, flows along the southern municipal border.
History
The first written mention of Rouchovany is from 1243. In 1353, it was referred to as a market town. In 1468, the village was officially promoted to a market town, but it later lost the title. Between 1458 and 1471, Rouchovany was acquired by the Pernštejn family. Vilém II of Pernštejn gave Rouchovany as a dowry to his daughter, and thus they came into the hands of the lords of Lipá. They owned it until the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, when their properties were confiscated.
From 1622 until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848, Rouchovany was the property of the House of Liechtenstein. During their rule, the importance of the settlement declined. In 1805, most of Rouchovany was destroyed by a large fire.
