Geography
Studeněves is located about 10 km north of Kladno and 26 km northwest of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Prague Plateau. The highest point is at 331 m above sea level.

History
The first written mention of Studeněves is from 1372. Until 1623, the village was owned by various lower noblemen. In 1623, Studeněves was annexed to the Smečno estate, owned by the Martinic family. After that, the local fortress lost its purpose and was converted into a granary in the 18th century. In the 19th century, there was a large sugar factory in Studeněves, but it ceased to exist in 1929 as a result of the Great Depression.

Transport
The I/7 road, which replaces the unfinished section of the D7 motorway from Prague to Chomutov, runs along the eastern municipal border. The I/16 road, which connects the D6 motorway with Slaný, runs along the northern municipal border.

Sights
Studeněves is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a small chapel from the second half of the 18th century.
