history
On the Bradlo there was a castle of the Teutonic Order Coming Miletín , which was probably the starting point for the settlement of the Arnauer Land. The castle was first mentioned in writing in 1325, when Botho von Turgow ( Půta z Turgova ) acquired the Oelser ( Olešnicer ) Sprengel. The castle Choustníkovo Hradiště also belonged to the other possessions of Botho and his son of the same name, who later became Bautzner Landvogtes . After the Torgau family had acquired Hostinné and Dvůr Králové nad Labem , they abandoned the castle on Bradlo to decay.
The Bradlo is also one of the possible locations of the extinct castle Hostin Hradec .
Remains of a 40 × 45 m fortification have been preserved.
