Svárov is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
The name Svárov was derived from the personal name Svár, meaning "Svár's (property)".[2]
Svárov is located about 8km (05miles) south of Kladno and 12km (07miles) west of Prague. It lies in the Křivoklát Highlands. The Loděnice River briefly flows through the municipal territory. In the centre of the village is the Svárovský Pond.
The first written mention of Svárov is from 1249, when it was owned by the Břevnov Monastery. It was owned by various lower nobles for most of its history. From 1732 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850, the village was part of the Buštěhrad estate.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Svárov is the Church of Saint Lucas. It was first documented in 1352, but it has a Romanesque core, which indicates an older origin. The church was probably extended in the late Renaissance period, then it was baroque rebuilt.[4]
