The cadastral area extends to the rivers Thaya and March , which form the borders with the neighboring states. The confluence of the Kyjovka, Svodnice, March and Thaya rivers has formed the triangle with Austria and Slovakia since 1993 .

history
The market town of Lanczhut oppido was first mentioned in 1384. It was owned by the Lords of Holstein , who handed it over to the Moravian margrave in 1394. It later came to the Liechtenstein . The parish church of the Holy Cross was built around the middle of the 16th century. The Anabaptists built a community hall in 1565, but it was destroyed several times and burned down completely in 1733. The predominantly Czech population lived mainly from agriculture. There was also a Jewish community, which in 1836 numbered 369 souls.
With the demarcation of the Thaya on July 30, 1920 , the area between Thaya and March , which until then belonged to Lower Austria , was transferred to Czechoslovakia and today forms the southern part of the town hall. In 1944 5,000 people lived in the market town. On June 27, 2001, Lanžhot was promoted to town.
