The villages of Kácova Lhota and Rousínov are administrative parts of Kozmice.
The name is derived from the personal name Kozma (a Czech variant of the name Cosmas), meaning "the village of Kozma's people".[2]
Kozmice is located about 9 kilometres (6 mi) northeast of Benešov and 31 km (19 mi) southeast of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is a nameless hill at 532 m (1,745 ft) above sea level.
The first written mention of Kozmice is from 1350. Until the second half of the 15th century, the village was owned by local noble families, then it was annexed to the Konopiště estate.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Kozmice is the Church of Saint James the Great. It is a Gothic building from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, modified in the Baroque style.[3][6]
