context_section_description: The village is situated above the right bank of the Jihlava river. Since the 1970s the built-up area has been rearranged and replaced by family residences, with the construction focusing on the downhill area below Dukovany chateau. The mansion had strongly influenced village development, as has an English park, chateau court, swimming pool, orchard, hydroelectric plant, farming area and a chapel. During the era of socialism (1974–1987), a nuclear power station was constructed with a northern by-pass road and housing area for about 1500 workers, which was the reason for demolishing the villages of Skryje, Heřmanice, and Lipany. Some of the inhabitants of Skryje moved to Dukovany and now live in a housing estate on the eastern side of the chateau park.
