Počepice is a municipality and village in Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
The villages of Oukřtalov, Rovina, Skuhrov and Vitín are administrative parts of Počepice.
The name is derived from the personal name Počap, meaning "the village of Počap's people". The letter 'a' in the original name was distorted to 'e'.[2]
Počepice is located about east of Příbram and 49km (30miles) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is at 573m (1,880feet) above sea level. The stream Počepický potok flows through the municipality. There are several fishponds in the municipal territory.
The first written mention of Počepice is in a deed of King Ottokar I from 1219.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Počepice is the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It was originally an early Gothic church from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. In the second half of the 16th century or early 17th century, it was rebuilt in the late Renaissance style. In 1790, it was extended and rebuilt in the late Baroque style. The presbytery and nave contain valuable Renaissance heraldic paintings.[4]
