history
The first documentary mention of the village, which became German-speaking in the course of the German colonization, comes from the year 1316, when the castle was owned by the Lords of Turgov until 1322 and repeatedly in 1423 . The place name was Grediss at that time , which is derived from "Hradiště" ( castle site ). For 1382 the brothers Wenzel / Václav and Johann Kruschina von Lichtenburg are proven as owners, who were named for this year with the addition "de Hradiscz" ( z Hradiště ). At the end of the 14th century, Hradiště was owned by Hermann von Choustnik ( Heřman z Choustníka ), who expanded the castle. The castle and settlement "Heřmanův Choustník" were named after him. In 1415, the lordship of the same name included the castle and the settlement as well as two outworks and four villages. Later the name "Choustníkovo Hradiště" became common. In 1713 it was called Gradlitz .
The castle on the old road through the Kingdom Forest had lost its former importance in the 17th century and was conquered and devastated during the Thirty Years War in 1646 by the Swedish military leader Hans Christoph von Königsmarck . After the war, repairs were carried out on the castle under Johann von Sporck . When his son Franz Anton came of age in 1684, he took over the rule, had the castle completely restored and temporarily used it next to Lysá nad Labem as a second seat for the administration of the rule and during the construction of the Kuks hospital .
Between 1701 and 1703, the settlement of Ferdinandsdorf was established in the manorial forests of the Kingdom Forest by Paul Franz Ferdinandi.
When Franz Anton's only daughter Maria Eleonora joined the Order of the Poor Clares after an unfortunate relationship with Count Kinsky , Sporck set up a monastery in the castle, where she died in 1717 at the age of 30. Franz Anton von Sporck died in 1738 without heirs. In 1739 the nuns gave up the monastery and returned to Prague. Then the castle fell desolate ; its walls were used as building material.
During the German War , on June 30, 1866, the battle between Prussian and Austrian troops took place near Gradlitz.
In 1901 the Beautification Society had a bust of Sporck erected under the leadership of Count Gustav Swerts-Sporck. In the same year the market town of Gradlitz had 872 inhabitants, plus 85 in the Ferdinandsdorf district. Gradlitz was the seat of an agricultural winter school, which was moved to Arnau in 1920 .
In 1999 the sandstone plinth was renewed and the Sporck bust was solemnly erected again.
