Kryry () is a town in Louny District in the ÃÂstÃÂ nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,400 inhabitants.
Kryry consists of four municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
Stebno forms an exclave of the municipal territory.
The name is derived from a Polish word for "scream, shout, caw".
Kryry is located about southwest of Louny, north of Plzeà Â, and west of Prague. It lies in the RakovnÃÂk Uplands. The highest point is below the top of the hill Hà ¯rka at above sea level. The Blà ¡anka River flows through the town.
The first written mention of Kryry is from 1320. During the Hussite Wars in 1421, the Czech population was murdered by crusaders and the village became ethnically German. The Germans were expelled after World War II.
The I/6 road (part of the European route E48), which replaces here the unfinished section of the D6 motorway, passes through the Stebno exclave.
Kryry is located on the railway line Plzeà ÂâÂÂMost.
The most significant monument is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. It was built around 1324, and in 1722 it was rebuilt in the Baroque style.
The Schiller Observation Tower was built on a hill above the town in 1905âÂÂ1906. It was named after the writer Friedrich Schiller, on the centenary of his death.
