Všetaty (Czech pronunciation: [ˈfʂɛtaty]) is a municipality and village in Rakovník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name is derived from the Old Czech words vsje ('all') and taty ('thieves'). It was an unflattering nickname of the village.[2]

Geography

Všetaty is located about 6 kilometres (4 mi) south of Rakovník and 41 km (25 mi) west of Prague. It lies in the Plasy Uplands. The highest point is at 475 m (1,558 ft) above sea level. The stream Všetatský potok flows through the municipality and supplies here a system of five small fishponds. Most of the municipal territory lies within the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area.

History

The first written mention of Všetaty is from 1337. It was the cnetre of a small estate and its owners often changed. In 1598, the estate was sold to the town of Rakovník. During the Thirty Years' War, the village and the local fortress were burned down. In 1651, only 25 inhabitants lived in the village. In 1754, Všetaty was purchased by the Fürstenberg family and annexed to the Křivoklát estate.[2]
