Středokluky is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants.
The word středokluky referred to people who "alternated arrows" (střídali kluky in old Czech). It probably had a derisive meaning and related to some story.[2]
Středokluky is located about 9km (06miles) northwest of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Prague Plateau.
The first written mention of Středokluky is from 1316. A fortress in Středokluky was first documented in 1414, but it burned down during the Hussite Wars. From the first half of the 16th century until 1623 and then in 1630–1645, Středokluky was owned by the Bezdružický branch of the Kolowrat family. The village was devastated in 1631, during the Thirty Years' War. The ruined village was bought by the Jesuits in 1645, who owned it until 1773. After that it was taken care of by convent in New Town, Prague and the study endowment fund.[3]
The D7 motorway from Prague to Chomutov runs through the municipality.
Středokluky is located on the railway lines of local importance Prague–Středokluky and Hostivice–Noutonice.[4]
The main landmark of Středokluky is the Church of Saint Procopius. It was built in the Baroque style in 1716–1721 according to the design by František Maxmilián Kaňka.[5]
