History
editIn Čechůvky, there is the Chapel of Saint Ottilia, which was built in 1722. During the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, a battle between Prussian and Saxon troops took place there. On the place, a little cross was built to commemorate the event.[1]
Between 1960-1973 Čechůvky was a part of Vrahovice. In 1973 both villages became parts of Prostějov.
