Kolešov is a municipality and village in Rakovník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Koleš, meaning "Koleš's (court)".[2]
Kolešov is located about 16km (10miles) northwest of Rakovník and 60km (40miles) west of Prague. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Rakovník Uplands. The highest point is the hill Liščí vrch at 436m (1,430feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Kolešov is from 1319.[3]
There is an intersection of two important roads: the I/6, part of the European route E48, which replaces the unfinished section of the D6 motorway from Prague to Karlovy Vary, and the I/27, leading from Plzeň to Most.
There are no protected cultural monuments.[4] In the centre of Kolešov is a small chapel.
