Oskořínek is a municipality and village in Nymburk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name was derived either from the Czech word oskeruše (i.e. 'service tree'; in old Czech also oskoruše)[2] or from the personal name Oskora, derived from the name of the tree. The initial name of the village was Oskořín. From the 16th century, the diminutive form Oskořínek is used.[3]
Geography
Oskořínek is located about 7 kilometres (4 mi) northeast of Nymburk and 42 km (26 mi) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The Ronovka Stream flows through the municipality.
History
The first written mention of Oskořínek is from 1451.[3] From the early 16th century, the village was owned by the Křinecký of Ronov family. In 1623, the Oskořínek estate was bought by Albrecht von Wallenstein, who soon left it to Adam von Waldstein in exchange for another estate. In 1652, Oskořínek was bought by the Wratislaw of Mitrovice family. The most important owners of Oskořínek were the Morzin family, who ruled the estate in 1689–1807. They had rebuilt the local castle and had built new houses and farm buildings.[4]
