Bezdružice (Czech pronunciation: [ˈbɛzdruʒɪtsɛ]; German: Weseritz) is a town in Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It lies some 30 km (19 mi) to the north-west from the region capital of Plzeň. The earliest record of the town dates back to the 12th century. From 1520 to 1614, a deadly plague infected the town. During the Thirty Years' War, in 1646, the town was burnt down by the invading Swedish Army. In 1808, another plague hit the town, in 1809, a fire burnt down many parts of the town, and in 1815, a windstorm ravaged Bezdružice. The town became more popular when a railway was introduced to the town. The railway quickly gentrified the town. However, the population declined during and after World War II, mainly following the expulsion of local German inhabitants.
