Vojkovice is a municipality and village in Mělník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,100 inhabitants.
The villages of Bukol, Dědibab and Křivousy are administrative parts of Vojkovice.
Vojkovice is located about 10km (10miles) southwest of Mělník and 19km (12miles) north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Vltava River, which forms the northern municipal border.
The first written mention of Vojkovice is in a hoax from the 12th century, according to which allegedly in 1088 King Vratislaus II donated the village to the newly established Vyšehrad Chapter. The chapter owned Vojkovice until the mid-14th century.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
In Bukol is located the Church of Saint Bartholomew. It is a Romanesque church from the 13th century, modified in the Baroque style in the 18th century.[3]
