Rynholec is a municipality and village in RakovnÃÂk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,100 inhabitants.
The name was probably derived from the personal name Ryn(h)olt.
Rynholec is located about northeast of RakovnÃÂk, west of Kladno and west of Prague. It lies on the border between the Dà ¾bán range and Kà Âivoklát Highlands. The highest point is at above sea level.
The first written mention of Rynholec is from 1330. The village was founded in the 13th or at the beginning of the 14th century. Until 1466, the owners of Rynholec often changed and included various lower noblemen. From 1466, the village was ruled by the Martinic family as a part of the SmeÃÂno estate.
In the western part of the municipality is a fire clay quarry. Extraction and processing of this material began here in 1908.
Rynholec is located on the railway line KladnoâÂÂRakovnÃÂk.
Rynholec is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monuments are a rural house from the first half of the 19th century and an archaeological site of a former medieval fortress called SobÃÂn. A landmark in the centre of the village is the Chapel of Saint Isidore.
