Geography

Pavlov is located about 5 km southeast of Kladno and 11 km west of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Prague Plateau.

History

The first written mention of Pavlov is from 1519, when there was a farm owned by the Saint Vitus Chapter in Hostouň. In 1726, the then-owner Ferdinand Kustod of Zubří and Lipka administratively connected 10 houses and a brewery from the surrounding settlements to the farm and created the Nový Dvůr manor. After the manor changed hands several times, it was bought by Leopold Paul in 1799. He had built a manor house and a settlement next to the farm, and named it after himself Pavlov (Paulow in German).
