Pavlov (in Czech pronounced as /ˈpavlof/; German: Paulow) is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants.

Geography

Pavlov is located about 5km (03miles) southeast of Kladno and 11km (07miles) west of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Prague Plateau.

History

The first written mention of Pavlov is from 1519, when there was a farm owned by the Saint Vitus Chapter in Hostouň. In 1726, the then-owner Ferdinand Kustod of Zubří and Lipka administratively connected 10 houses and a brewery from the surrounding settlements to the farm and created the Nový Dvůr manor.[2]

After the manor changed hands several times, it was bought by Leopold Paul in 1799. He had built a manor house and a settlement next to the farm, and named it after himself Pavlov (Paulow in German).[2]

Transport

The D6 motorway from Prague to Karlovy Vary passes through the northern part of the municipality.

Pavlov is located on the railway line Prague–Kladno.[3]

Sights

Pavlov is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a small castle from the early 19th century.[4]
