Kadlín is a municipality and village in Mělník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.
The village of Ledce is an administrative part of Kadlín.
The name was probably derived from tkáti, tkadlec, i.e. "to weave, weaver". It was probably originally a weavers' settlement.[2]
Kadlín is located about 16km (10miles) northeast of Mělník and 15km (09miles) west of Mladá Boleslav. It lies in the Jizera Table. The highest point is the Hradiště hill at 314m (1,030feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Kadlín is from 1346. Among the notable owners of the village were Hynek Berka of Dubá, Augustinian monastery in Bělá pod Bezdězem and Emperor Rudolf II. In 1445, the territory of the village was divided, and until 1849 the two parts were administered separately and had different owners.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Kadlín is the Church of Saint James the Great. It was first mentioned in 1384.[3] The original Gothic church was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1724.[4]
The local municipal museum focuses on rural themes and includes an exhibition with rural technology, blacksmith's work, a collection of hoes and local field crops.[5]
On Hradiště hill there is an observation tower. It was built in 2006 in the shape of a watchtower and its height is 19m (62feet).[2]
