Litichovice is a municipality and village in Benešov District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 70 inhabitants.
The initial name of the village was Litochovice. It was derived from the personal name Litoch, meaning "the village of Litoch's people". From the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, the name Litichovice has been used.[2]
Litichovice is located about 12km (07miles) east of Benešov and 38km (24miles) southeast of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is at 497m (1,631feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Litichovice is from 1402. After the establishment of sovereign municipalities in the mid-19th century, Litichovice was an administrative part of Třebešice. In 1905, it became an independent municipality.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Litichovice is the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes. It was built in the Historicist style in 1927 or shortly before this year.[4]
