Králův Dvůr (pronounced [ˈkraːluːv dvuːr]; German: Königshof) is a town in Beroun District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

Králův Dvůr consists of seven municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] Králův Dvůr is located about 28 km (17 mi) southwest of Prague and creates a conurbation with Beroun, located northeast of the town.

Only the area of the Zahořany village extends into the Křivoklát Highlands and includes the highest point of Králův Dvůr, the slopes of the Děd hill at 473 m (1,552 ft) above sea level.

[4] The first written mention of Králův Dvůr is from 1394, when King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia was captured by Bohemian nobility here.

The settlement was mostly demolished in 1960 when the smeltery was expanded to iron works and cement plants were established.

Although the classic blast furnace production ended here in the 1980s, the company's tradition continues to this day.

[6] In the 21st century, population numbers are growing due to proximity to the capital city of Prague.

The D5 motorway (heading from Prague to Plzeň and further the Czech-German border in Rozvadov) passes through the town.

In 1585, the stone court was rebuilt in the Renaissance style into a closed four-winged castle with an inner courtyard.

After World War II, the castle was nationalized, and state enterprises were maintained by using its buildings as a warehouse.
