Květnice is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,100 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name was derived from the adjective květná, i.e. 'flowery' in Czech.
Geography
Květnice is located about 13 km east of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape in the Prague Plateau. The Výmola Stream flows through the municipality. The fishpond Mlýnský rybník is located on the stream in the centre of the village.
History
The first written mention of Květnice is from 1352. Until 1510, the village was owned by various lower noblemen. In 1510, Květnice became a part of the Škvorec estate, which remained so until 1850, when independent municipalities were established and Květnice became an administrative part of Dobročovice. From 1923, Květnice was a separate municipality, only in 1964–1990 it was a part of Sibřina.

Sights
Květnice is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is the remains of a small medieval castle. The castle was probably built in the 1390s and was first documented in 1418. At the beginning of the 16th century, it was described as abandoned. Fragments of the palace and perimeter walls have been preserved.
