Mochov is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,600 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name is derived from the personal name Moch, meaning "Moch's (court)".

Geography

Mochov is located about 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The Výmola Stream flows through the municipality.

History

The first written mention of Mochov is from 1360. From 1437 to 1611, the village belonged to the Přerov estate. Then Emperor Rudolf II sold Mochov to Magdalena Trčka of Lípa, who joined it to the Kounice estate. It remained part of this estate until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850.
