Hraběšín is a municipality and village in Kutná Hora District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.
Hraběšín is located about 11km (07miles) south of Kutná Hora and 58km (36miles) southeast of Prague. It lies in the Upper Sázava Hills. The highest point is at 390m (1,280feet) above sea level. The municipality is situated between the stream Paběnický potok and the Klejnárka River, which form the western and eastern municipal border. A nameles brook supplies two small fishponds in the centre of the village.
The village was founded in the 14th century and named after the nobleman Hrabiše of Paběnice. The first written mention of Hraběšín is from 1379. From 1658 to 1783, it was owned by the Sedlec Abbey. In 1819, it was acquired by the Schwarzenberg family.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark is the Hraběšice Castle. The Baroque castle complex includes the castle, a chapel, and outbuildings, surrounded by a wall. The castle was built in the early 17th century, and completely rebuilt in the 1740s. The Chapel of Saint Florian and outbuildings were added in the first half of the 19th century.[3] In 1992, the castle was returned in restitution to Karel Schwarzenberg.[2]
