Kosořice

Kosořice is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name is derived from the surname Kosoř, meaning "the village of Kosoř's people".

Kosořice is located about south of Mladá Boleslav and northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Jizera Table. The Vlkava Stream flows through the municipality. The river and its nameless tributary supply three fishponds located around the village, called Kosořický rybník, Mrštín and Močický rybník.

The first written mention of Kosořice is from 1347.

There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.

The only protected cultural monument in the municipality is a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. It was created in the late Baroque style in 1794. The second landmark of the centre of Kosořice is a small chapel with a memorial plaque to the fallen in World War I and a bust of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.
