Arneštovice is a municipality and village in Pelhřimov District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 90 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name is derived from the personal name Arnešt (a variation of Arnošt), meaning "the village of Arnešt's people".^[2]

Geography

Arneštovice is located about 13 kilometres (8 mi) northwest of Pelhřimov and 36 km (22 mi) northwest of Jihlava. It lies in the Křemešník Highlands. The highest point is at 575 m (1,886 ft) above sea level. The Trnava River flows along the southern municipal border. In the centre of Arneštovice is a system of three small fishponds, fed by a nameless tributary of the Trnava.

History

The first written mention of Arneštovice is from 1403, when the village was acquired by the Vyšehrad Chapter. In 1457 at the latest, it became part of the Loutkov (today an integral part of Hořepník) estate. Arneštovice belonged to the Loutkov estate (later known as Hořepník estate) until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1849 and shared its owners.^[3]

From April 1976 to June 1990, Arneštovice was a municipal part of Košetice. Since 1990, it has been a separate municipality again.^[4]
