Lážovice is a municipality and village in Beroun District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.
The village of Nové Dvory is an administrative part of Lážovice.
The initial name of the village was Hlázovice. The name was derived from the personal name Hláza, meaning "the village of Hláza's people". In the 17th century, the name distorted to Lážovice.[2]
Lážovice is located about 11km (07miles) south of Beroun and 31km (19miles) southwest of Prague. It lies in a mostly agricultural landscape in the Hořovice Uplands. The highest point is a nameless hill at 451m (1,480feet) above sea level. The brook Novodvorský potok flows through the municipality. There are three small fishponds in the municipality, supplies by nameless tributaries of the Novodvorský potok.
The first written mention of Lážovice is in a deed of King Wenceslaus I from 1233.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The most valuable monument in Lážovice is a late Baroque rural chapel from the end of the 18th century.[4]
Most of the municipal territory lies in a landscape monument zone called Osovsko. It is a regular agricultural landscape around Osov with a net of paths lined with avenues. It was established in two phases after the Thirty Years' War and after 1805.[5]
