Čtyřkoly is a municipality and village in Benešov District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
The village of Javorník is an administrative part of Čtyřkoly.
The name is derived from the word combination Czech: čtyři kola, meaning "four wheels". In the place where the village was founded, there was originally a mill with four wheels.[2]
Čtyřkoly is located about 9km (06miles) north of Benešov and 24km (15miles) southeast of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is a hill at 364m (1,194feet) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Sázava River. The stream Zaječický potok flows through the municipality into the Sázava.
The first written mention of Čtyřkoly is from 1549. The railway was built in 1871.[3]
The I/3 road (part of the European route E55), which connects the D1 motorway with Tábor and further continues as the D3 motorway, passes through the municipality.
