Hlavenec is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
Etymology

Geography
Hlavenec is located about 19 km northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape in the Polabí lowlands, on the border between the Jizera Table and Central Elbe Table. The highest point is the hill Kobylí hlava at 215 m above sea level.
History
The first written mention of Hlavenec is from 1386. It was probably founded together with Kostelní Hlavno and Sudovo Hlavno.

In 1547, the estate was acquired by the Habsburg family and Hlavenec became known for the imperial game park.
