Kamenný Most is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The name means 'stone bridge'. At the time when the village was founded, arched stone bridges were not built yet, but there was probably some kind of bridging, for which stone was also used as a material.[2]
Kamenný Most is located about 13km (08miles) northeast of Kladno and 20km (10miles) northwest of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape, on the border between the Lower Ohře Table and Prague Plateau.
The first written mention of Kamenný Most is from 1088, when it was owned by the Vyšehrad Chapter.[3]
Kamenný Most is located on the railway line Louny–Kralupy nad Vltavou.[4]
The main landmark of Kamenný Most is a small late Baroque chapel. It was built in the second half of the 18th century.[5]
West of the village on a hill stands a 1m (03feet) tall sandstone engraving of a Latin cross. Some consider it a menhir,[6] but it is probably just a medieval border stone.[7]
