Žabonosy is a municipality and village in Kolín District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The name originated either from the combination nosit žáby (literally "to carry frogs", meaning "to sell frogs") or from žabí nosy ("frog noses", which meant that people with frog noses lived here).[2]
Žabonosy is located about 12km (07miles) west of Kolín and 35km (22miles) east of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Central Elbe Table. The highest point is at 256m (840feet) above sea level. The Výrovka River flows through the northern part of the municipality. The Bečvárka Stream flows through the village and then joins the Výrovka. The fishpond Rozkoš is built on the Bečvárka.
The first written mention of Žabonosy is from 1352. From 1652 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850, Žabonosy was part of the Radim estate and shared its owners.[2]
Žabonosy is located on the railway line Kouřim–Pečky.[3]
The landmark of Žabonosy is the Church of Saint Wenceslaus. It is a Gothic church with a Romanesque core from the 10th century, baroque modified in 1721.[4]
