Křečhoř is a municipality and village in Kolín District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
The villages of Kamhajek and Kutlíře are administrative parts of Křečhoř.
The village was named after the nearby hill, which was probably originally called Křeče hora (meaning "Křek's mountain" or "Křeč's mountain") and today is also named Křečhoř.[2]
Křečhoř is located about 4km (02miles) northwest of Kolín and 43km (27miles) east of Prague. The southwestern part of the municipal territory lies in the Upper Sázava Hills. The northeastern part lies in the Central Elbe Table. The highest point is the Křečhoř hill at 333m (1,093feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Křečhoř is from 1295. In 1757, during the Seven Years' War, Křehoč was the site of the Battle of Kolín.[3]
The I/12 road from Prague to Kolín runs along the northern municipal border.
The main landmark of Křečhoř is the Church of the Corpus Christi. It was originally a Gothic church from the early 14th century, rebuilt in the Empire style in 1846–1848.[4]
On the northwestern edge of the village of Křečhoř, there is a memorial to the Battle of Kolín. It was made in 1898 according to the design by Václav Weinzettl.[5]
