The villages of Chlum, Hluboká, Nalžovické Podhájí, Nová Ves and Oboz are administrative parts of Nalžovice.
The initial name of the village was Nelžovice, meaning "the village of people who do not lie" (from nelhat, i.e. 'not lie'). The name of the village was probably meant ironically and was based on some event.[2]
Nalžovice is located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) east of Příbram and 35 km (22 mi) south of Prague. It lies in the Benešov Uplands. The highest point is the hill Drbákov at 490 m (1,610 ft) above sea level. The area is rich in fishponds. In the north, the municipal border is formed by the Slapy Reservoir, built on the Vltava River.
The first written mention of Nalžovice is from 1364.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Nalžovice is the Nalžovice Castle. The early Baroque castle was gradually modified and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today it serves as a home for disabled children.[6]
The most important monument is the Church of Saint Wenceslaus in Chlum. It is originally a Gothic church from the 14th century, rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1790.[3][7]
