Řevničov is a municipality and village in Rakovník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,500 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Řevnič, meaning "Řevnič's (court)".[2]
Řevničov is located about 10km (10miles) northeast of Rakovník and 38km (24miles) west of Prague. It lies mostly in the Džbán range, only a small part of the municipal territory in the south extends into the Křivoklát Highlands and also belongs to the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area. The highest point is the Louštín hill at 537m (1,762feet) above sea level.
Řevničov was founded by King John of Bohemia in 1325. The village was built at the crossroads of two trade routes.[3]
The D6 motorway (part of the European route E48) from Prague to Karlovy Vary passes through the municipality.
Řevničov is located on the railway line Kladno–Rakovník.[4] The train station is situated outside the built-up area.
The main landmark of Řevničov is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. The church was first documented in 1352. The Gothic building was rebuilt in the Baroque style, but kept its Gothic look.[5]
