How big is Ptýrov?

Ptýrov is a typical example of a small Central Bohemian village. As of 1 January 2013, it had 177 inhabitants — a figure that reflects the modest scale of the settlement, where daily life follows the rhythms common to small rural municipalities in the region. Other sources put the population closer to 400, a discrepancy that may stem from different census dates or from counting the municipality as a whole (including any attached parts) rather than just the central village itself.

Where exactly is Ptýrov located?

Administratively, the village belongs to the Mladá Boleslav District, one of the districts making up the Central Bohemian Region, which surrounds Prague to the north and east. The district itself is best known for its automotive industry — the headquarters of Škoda Auto are located in the town of Mladá Boleslav — but beyond the town's limits, the district's landscape remains largely rural, dotted with farmland and small villages. As an independent municipality, Ptýrov holds its own administrative status, meaning it has its own local governing body despite its small population.

Does Ptýrov have municipal status?

Yes — Ptýrov functions as a self-governing municipality rather than merely a part of a larger administrative unit. Within the Czech territorial system, this means the village has its own municipal council responsible for local affairs, even though it ranks among the smaller municipalities of its kind in the region by population.
