Hořovice, Administrative municipality in Beroun District, Czech Republic

The municipality extends across rolling terrain at 375 meters above sea level, with residential areas spreading from the central district into surrounding neighborhoods.

Iron ore processing defined the development of Hořovice since the 14th century, leading to specialized foundries for cast iron production in the 18th century.

The New Castle, constructed between 1680 and 1709, represents architectural evolution and contains a French-English park open to visitors throughout the year.
