Lisov is a municipality and village in Plzeň-South District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 100 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name was derived from the personal name Lis, Lisa or Lysý. In the oldest documents, the name was written as Lyzov.[2]

Geography

Lisov is located about 22 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of Plzeň. It lies in the Plasy Uplands. The highest point is at 414 m (1,358 ft) above sea level. The streams Hořina and Touškovský potok flow along the southern and eastern municipal border, respectively. They join the Radbuza River just outside the territory of Lisov.

History

The first written mention of Lisov is from 1243. Until 1271, the village was a royal property. In 1271, King Ottokar II donated Lisov to the Chotěšov Abbey. From 1587 to the 1620s, Lisov belonged to the Horšovský Týn estate. During the Thirty Years' War, the population of Lisov declined and the village was repopulated by the German settlers.[3]
