Senomaty

History

The first written mention of Senomaty is in a donation deed of King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia from 1233. During the rule of King John of Bohemia, in 1315, Senomaty was promoted to a market town. In 1589, Emperor Rudolf II sold Senomaty to Václav Hochhauzer of Pšovce. During his rule the inhabitants were oppressed. In 1592, the market town was destroyed by fire and many residents preferred to move away. The Hochhauzer family owned Senomaty until 1613, when they sold it to the town of Rakovník. With a short break in 1624, Senomaty was property of Rakovník until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850, and shared its owners and history.

Geography

Senomaty is located about west of Rakovník and west of Prague. It lies in the Rakovník Uplands. The highest point is at above sea level. The stream Rakovnický potok flows through the market town.
