Šestajovice is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 4,100 inhabitants.
The initial name of the settlement was Sestojovice. The name was derived from the personal name Sestoj.[2]
Šestajovice is located east of Prague, in its immediate vicinity. It is urbanistically fused with Prague-Klánovice. It lies in a flat landscape of the Central Elbe Table.
The first written mention of Šestajovice is from 1227. From 1227 until the Hussite Wars, the village was property of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star from the Zderaz Monastery in Prague; then the owners often changed.[3]
The D11 motorway from Prague to Hradec Králové passes through the municipality.
Šestajovice is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a sandstone cross, which dates from 1779.[4] A landmark is also the belfry in the centre of the village.
