Hlavenec is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
The name is a diminutive form of the personal name Hlaven.
Hlavenec is located about northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape in the PolabÃÂ lowlands, on the border between the Jizera Table and Central Elbe Table. The highest point is the hill KobylÃÂ hlava at above sea level.
The first written mention of Hlavenec is from 1386. It was probably founded together with KostelnàHlavno and Sudovo Hlavno. The village was owned by the Lords of Michalovice and later was annexed to the Brandýs estate. In 1547, the estate was acquired by the Habsburg family and Hlavenec became known for the imperial game park.
The D10 motorway from Prague to Turnov runs along the eastern municipal border.
The most important monument is the memorial of Emperor Charles VI. It was made by Matthias Braun in 1724âÂÂ1725 according to the design by Frantià ¡ek Maxmilián Kaà Âka.
