Úmyslovice is a municipality and village in Nymburk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The village of Ostrov is an administrative part of Úmyslovice.
The name is derived from the personal name Úmysl or Úmyslav, meaning "the village of Úmysl's/Úmyslav's people".[2]
Úmyslovice is located about 9km (06miles) east of Nymburk and 46km (29miles) east of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table.
The first written mention of Úmyslovice is from 1291. The village continuously belonged to the Poděbrady estate until the establishment of the independent municipality in 1850.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Úmyslovice is the Church of Saint Leonard. The church was built in 1729–1732, then it was completely rebuilt in the Neoclassical style in 1812. Neo-Gothic modifications were made at the end of the 19th century.[4]
