Přeštice, Municipal center in Plzeň-South District, Czech Republic
Located 18 kilometers south of Plzeň at 345 meters elevation, Přeštice forms an administrative hub for surrounding villages including Skočice, Zastávka, and Žerovice.
The settlement, first documented in 1226 as a market village, was acquired by Kladruby monastery in 1239 and later controlled by the Švihovský family during the Hussite Wars.
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, constructed between 1750 and 1775, exemplifies the Baroque architectural style of architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.
The municipality maintains international connections through established partnerships with Chadron in the United States, Krško in Slovenia, and Nittenau in Germany.
The construction of the Plzeň-Klatovy railway in 1874 transformed this market village into a regional transportation node connecting multiple communities.
