Zrazenín

Zrazenín is a village located in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It lies approximately 6 kilometers northwest of the town of Kladno.

Geographically, Zrazenín is situated in the Western Czech Uplands, a low mountain range in the northwestern part of the Bohemian Massif. The village is nestled in a valley along the Banka Creek, which eventually flows into the Berounka River.

The area of Zrazenín has been inhabited since ancient times, with archaeological finds dating back to the Paleolithic era. During the Middle Ages, the village was a part of the Kladno estate, a large feudal lordship that covered a significant portion of the Central Bohemian Region.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Zrazenín underwent significant economic development, driven primarily by the growth of coal mining and brick-making industries. The village's strategic location near the town of Kladno, an important industrial center, facilitated its connection to regional transportation networks. This infrastructure allowed for the shipment of raw materials and manufactured goods to other parts of the country.

Today, Zrazenín is a small village with a population of a few hundred residents. While some of its original economic activities have declined, the village remains a charming example of rural life in the Czech Republic.
