history
The area has been populated since the early days, as evidenced by excavations. The place was first mentioned in writing in the directory of the Prague bishop Daniel II (Milík) in 1209, in which he Busczewes (Buštěves) is listed as the property of the Ossegg monastery .
The next evidence comes from the 14th century. At that time the village belonged to the Braškova family . In 1380 the village belonged in part to the member of the Prague patrician family František Rokycanský . At the end of the 14th century, the share of von Rokycan went into the hands of the Prague citizen Petr Stuka .
In 1400 the Lords of Braškova also sold their share to Jan Konipas , in 1410, after his death his son Petr inherited the place. In 1413 he died without descendants and the village fell to King Wenceslaus IV , who, however, had no interest in the land and auctioned it off to his brothers at Easter, who in turn sold it to Bedřich z Ředhoště in 1416 . There were further assignments to Pešík od Stříbrné hvězdy (1434), then over two centuries to the Kolowrat family . In 1497 Buštěves was raised to a town and was given the name Buckow (Buckov). The castle including the forecourt was named Buštěhrad .
Buckov was pillaged and pillaged during the Thirty Years War. All the inhabitants of the village died of the subsequent plague in 1680.
In the 18th century, the new lords of Saxony-Lauenburg became the new lords, and they also began building the local castle. After the death of their daughter, the Bavarian Elector Maximilian Josef inherited the lands. In 1775 the first hard coal deposit was discovered in the Kladno area between Buckow and Vrapice. In 1805 Maximilian handed over the rule of Buštěhrad to Archduke Ferdinand Habsburger , who handed it over to Ferdinand the Kind in 1847 and thereby became the property of the imperial courts. In 1879 the Buckov market was renamed Buštěhrad. In 1918 the Czechoslovak state took over the goods of the Habsburgs.

A wall crown towers over the coat of arms .
