The first written mention of Lanžhot is from 1384.
Geography
Lanžhot is located about southeast of Břeclav and southeast of Brno. It lies in the Lower Morava Valley. The municipal territory is located on the border with Austria and Slovakia. The eastern border (with Slovakia) is formed by the Morava River and the western border (with Austria) is partly formed by the Thaya River. Their confluence forms the tripoint of the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia. Other notable watercourses in Lanžhot are the Kyjovka River (which joins the Thaya on the Czech–Austrian border) and the Svodnice Stream (which joins the Kyjovka near the town proper). The area of the confluence of the Morava and Thaya, which also includes many pools, oxbow lakes and channels, is the most valuable ichthyological site in the country. About 80% of native Czech fish species can be found there, and 15% of them live only there.
