  • Srbín (1,407)
  • Žernovka (386)

Geography

Mukařov is located about 17 km east of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is at 469 m above sea level. The Výmola Stream originates here and supplies the fishpond Návesní rybník. The second pond in the territory of Mukařov is Požár, supplied by the stream Jevanský potok.

History

After 1158, King Vladislaus II donated the area of today's Mukařov to Knight Mukar, but evidence of the existence of the village does not appear in the following centuries. The first written mention of Mukařov is from 1352, when it was part of the Tehov estate. In 1513, the Tehov estate with Mukařov was bought by the Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk family and was annexed to the Černý Kostelec estate. From that time until the establishment of an independent municipality, it shared the fate and owners with Kostelec. During the Thirty Years' War, the region was badly damaged and was only slowly restored.
