Mšecké Žehrovice (German: Kornhaus Scherowitz) is a municipality and village in Rakovník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.
[4] The location of today's Mšecké Žehrovice has been inhabited since the period of the Knovíz culture in the Late Bronze Age, 13–10 centuries BC.
[5] The first written mention of Žehrovice was in 1045, when Duke Bretislav I left part of the village to the Břevnov Monastery.
In 1224, King Ottokar I of Bohemia granted the monastery a protective privilege for the monastic part of Žehrovice.
The deed from 1224 is also the first written mention of the newly established village of Lodenice, founded be the people who left Žehrovice.
After the Battle of White Mountain, their properties were confiscated and Mšecké Žehrovice was bought by the House of Fürstenberg.
In 1662, the Fürstenbergs sold the estate to the Schwarzenberg family, who owned it until the establishment of a sovereign municipalities of Mšecké Žehrovice and Lodenice in 1850.
The D6 motorway (part of the European route E48) runs just beyond the southern municipal border.
