Trnová is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
The adjective trnová (i.e. 'thorny') referred to a hillside where there were many thorny bushes.[2]
Trnová is located about 12km (07miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The municipality is situated on the left shore of the Vrané Reservoir, built on the Vltava river.
Trnová was founded in 1342 by the Lords of Kosoř on the land belonging to the Břevnov Monastery.[3]
The railway line Prague–Dobříš briefly crosses the municipal territory, but there is no train station. The municipality is served by the station in neighbouring Měchenice.
The Church of the Holy Spirit dates from the 14th century. It has minor Baroque modifications.[4]
The Trnová Castle was originally a Baroque building, rebuilt and extended in the Neoclassical style at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1860–1864, it was rebuilt into its present form, loosely inspired by English Gothic architecture. Today it is privately owned and used as a hotel.[5]
