ZbeÃÂno is a municipality and village in RakovnÃÂk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
ZbeÃÂno consists of two municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
The initial name of the village was StbeÃÂna. The origin of the name is unclear. It could be derived from the word stéblo ('stalk') or from the old word jistba, which denoted a log cabin or a type of bridge pillar.
ZbeÃÂno is located about southeast of RakovnÃÂk and west of Prague. It lies in the Kà Âivoklát Highlands and within the Kà Âivoklátsko Landscape Protected Area, which administration have its seat here.
The municipality is situated at the confluence of the Berounka River and KlÃÂÃÂava Stream. KlÃÂÃÂava Reservoir is located on the KlÃÂÃÂava Stream in the northernmost part of the municipal territory.
The first written mention of ZbeÃÂno is from 1003. After the Kà Âivoklát Castle was built, it became part of the Kà Âivoklát estate.
At the beginning of the 16th century, ZbeÃÂno was promoted to a market town by King Vladislaus II, but it was severely damaged in the Thirty Years' War and in the second half of the 17th century, it was again only a village. In 1685, ZbeÃÂno was bought by the Waldstein family and ceased to be a royal property.
In 1950âÂÂ1953, KlÃÂÃÂava Reservoir was built, and ZbeÃÂov became a centre of tourism.
ZbeÃÂno is located on the railway line BerounâÂÂRakovnÃÂk. The municipality is served by two train stations: ZbeÃÂno and ÃÂjezd nad ZbeÃÂnem.
The main landmark of ZbeÃÂno is the Church of Saint Martin. The original Romanesque church probably existed already at the end of the 11th century. It was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 1470s. In 1714âÂÂ1716, the church was rebuilt into its current Baroque form.
