Hradištko is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,500 inhabitants.
The villages of Brunšov, Pikovice and Rajchardov are administrative parts of Hradištko.
Hradištko is located about 16km (10miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is at 440m (1,440feet) above sea level. The municipality is situated at the confluence of the Vltava and Sázava rivers. The Štěchovice Reservoir, built on the Vltava, lies on the southern municipal border.
The first written mention of Hradištko is in a papal bull of Pope Clement V from 1310. The owners of the village often changed until 1636, when Hradištko was purchased by the Strahov Monastery.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark is the Hradištko Castle. There was a fortress from 1571, which was rebuilt into the current simple Baroque castle in 1709. Today the building houses the municipal office and a library.[3]
