Klobuky is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,000 inhabitants.
The villages of Čeradice, Kobylníky, Kokovice and Páleček are administrative parts of Klobuky.
The name of the village was probably derived from its ancient owner or founder named Klobuk or Klobouk (which is also the Czech word for 'hat' and in old Czech for 'helmet'). Hence the helmet is in the coat of arms.[2]
Klobuky is located about northwest of Kladno and 33km (21miles) northwest of Prague. It lies in an undulating agricultural landscape of the Lower Ohře Table. The highest point is at 349m (1,145feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Klobuky is from 1226, when it was a property of the Doksany convent.[3]
Klobuky is located on the railway line Louny–Kralupy nad Vltavou. In addition to the train station in Klobuky, there is a stop in Páleček.[4]
The major local sight is an alleged prehistoric menhir, with a height of 3.3m (10.8feet) the tallest in the Czech Republic. It is an upright, lonely standing stone called Kamenný pastýř ("stone shepherd") or Kamenný muž ("stone man"). It is located in a field several hundred metres northwest of the village.[5]
The Church of Saint Lawrence dates back to 14th century.[3] It was rebuilt and extended in 1729–1735.[6]
