Velké Přílepy is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,600 inhabitants.

Geography[edit]

Velké Přílepy is located about 7 kilometres (4 mi) north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Prague Plateau. The highest point is at 337 m (1,106 ft) above sea level.

History[edit]

The first written mention of Velké Přílepy is from 1228. The village was divided into two parts, one was owned by the Metropolitan Chapter at Saint Vitus in Prague and one by the St. George's Convent in Prague. In 1436, during the Hussite Wars, both parts were acquired by the royal chamber and King Sigismund gave them to the nobility. However, both parts were bought by the Metropolitan Chapter at Saint Vitus in the first half of the 16th century. The chapter owned the village until 1848 with a short break in 1620–1623.^[2]
