Lhota u Příbramě is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
The name Lhota is a common name of Czech villages. The attribute "u Příbramě" means 'near Příbram'. Until the 20th century, the village was called Německá Lhota ('German Lhota').[2]
Lhota u Příbramě is located about 4km (02miles) north of Příbram and 47km (29miles) southwest of Prague. It lies in the Brdy Highlands. The highest point is the hill Hůrka at 535m (1,755feet). The stream Obecnický potok flows through the municipality and then merges with the Litavka River just outside the municipality.
The first written mention of Německá Lhota is from 1292, when King Wenceslaus II donated the village to the newly established Zbraslav Monastery. After the monastery was burned down during the Hussite Wars (1419–1434), it became a property of the royal chamber again. From 1741 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1849, Německá Lhota was owned by the town of Příbram.[2]
In 1947, the municipality was renamed from Německá Lhota to its current name.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[4] The main landmark is a chapel in the centre of the village, built in 1822.[2]
