Tachlovice is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
The initial name of the village was Taklovice. The name was derived from the personal name Takl, meaning "the village of Takl's people". In the 14th century, the name was distorted to its present form.[2]
Tachlovice lies about 7km (04miles) southwest of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Prague Plateau. The highest point is at 383m (1,257feet) above sea level. The stream Radotínský potok flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Tachlovice is from 1234.[2]
There are no major roads passing through the municipality. The railway that runs next to the village is unused.
Veteran Car Club Tachlovice was founded in 1960.[3] Since 1976, it organizes a veteran cars exhibition and contest called Tachlovice Triangle. It is held once a year in memory of the founder Jan Horák. Vehicles manufactured until the 1970s are displayed near the village common and some of them later compete driving on the triangle route.[4]
The Baroque complex of the Church of Saint James the Great is a cultural monument. It represents an architecturally and urbanistically valuable set of buildings from the 1740s with clear remnants of the original Gothic construction. It contains the church and a cemetery chapel.[5]
Tachlovice White Willow is a memorable tree, one of the largest of its kind in Bohemia with a shaft circuit of 7730NaN0.[6]
