Čejkovice is a municipality and village in Kutná Hora District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 30 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Čejka, meaning "the village of Čejka's people".[2]
Čejkovice is located about south of Kutná Hora and 65km (40miles) southeast of Prague. It lies in a predominantly agricultural landscape in the Upper Sázava Hills. The highest point is at 486m (1,594feet) above sea level. The Klejnárka River flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Čejkovice is from 1360, when it was part of the Chlum estate, which was owned by the Sázava Monastery. From 1463, the estate was a property of the Slavata of Chlum and Košumberk noble family, which ruled it for almost 200 years. During the Thirty Years' War, Čejkovice was completely looted.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
There are two protected cultural monuments in the municipality: a former wooden smithy from the first half of the 19th century, and a set of a chapel from 1898 with a belfry from 1922 and with a wooden crucifix from the 19th century.[4]
