Schořov is a municipality and village in Kutná Hora District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 90 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Schoř, meaning "Schoř's (court)".[2]
Schořov is located about 13km (08miles) southeast of Kutná Hora and 64km (40miles) southeast of Prague. It lies in a predominantly agricultural landscape in the Upper Sázava Hills. The highest point is at 347m (1,138feet) above sea level. The stream Hluboký potok flows through the municipality and supplies a nameless fishpond north of the village. In the centre of the village is a small pond called Náveský.
The first written mention of Schořov is from 1352. During the Thirty Years' War, the village was completely destroyed. It was renewed at the end of the 17th century. From 1739, Schořov was owned by the Auersperg family and was annexed to the Žleby estate.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Schořov is the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built in the early Baroque style at the end of the 17th century.[4]
