It has about 100 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name is derived from the personal name Skříp.
Geography
Skřipel is located about 13 km south of Beroun and 33 km southwest of Prague. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Hořovice Uplands. The highest point is at 389 m above sea level. The brook Chlumecký potok flows through the municipality and supplies several small fishponds.
History
The village allegedly existed in 999, when it was a property of the newly established Ostrov Monastery in Davle. The first trustworthy written mention of Skřipel is from 1232. The village was divided into two parts, one owned by the monastery and one by various noblemen. In 1504, the Wratislaw of Mitrovice family bought both parts of Skřipel. This noble family owned the village until 1677. In 1639, during the Thirty Years' War, the village was badly damaged. From 1677, Skřipel belonged to the Osov estate.
