Geography[edit]

Keblov is located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Benešov. It lies in the Vlašim Uplands. The highest point is the hill Hůrka at 459 m (1,506 ft) above sea level. The municipal territory is situated on the shores of the Švihov and Němčice reservoirs.

History[edit]

The first written mention of Keblov is from 1290, when it was a property of the Prague bishops. In 1436, it was acquired by the Trčka of Lípa noble family. After they sold the village in 1547, its owners changed frequently. In the 17th century, the village of Sedlice was annexed to Keblov. In 1703, Keblov was bought by Count John Leopold of Trautson and Falkenstein, who annexed the village to the Křivsoudov estate.^[2]^[3]
