history
According to old traditions, the place is said to have been founded in the 9th century by Beš, the progenitor of the Pschowans , and named after him as Beškovice .
The first written mention was made under the name Boskovice and comes from the year 1344. The owner of the village at that time was Ješek von Beškovice, who also owned Vliněves, Neumětely and Cítov. The Beškovice von Beškovic family descended from Smil von Citov, who founded the monastery of St. Lawrence in Mělník in 1268 and made the Beškovice fortress his ancestral seat. The Beškovice von Beškovic owned estates in Central and Eastern Bohemia. With Mikuláš von Beškovice, the male family died out in 1579, the title and the coat of arms were inherited by the Prague citizen Pavel Kostelecký.
Jan the Younger from Beškovice had already sold the previous headquarters in Beškovice to Čéček von Pakoměřice after 1450. In 1470 the Firšic of Nabdín became the owners of Beškovice. After Jindřich Firšic had bought Veltrusy from Zdeňko von Šternberk in 1497 , he joined it to the Beškovice rule. The rule also included Straškov and parts of Bechlín , Průhon, Předonín, Vepřek and Záblati.
In 1521 Jan Firšic sold the Beškovice estate to Burian Trčka from Lípa . In 1527 Hans Kaplirz de Sulewicz became the owner of Beschkowitz on Dux . He was followed three years later by his son Pavel, who called himself Pavel Beškovský and made the festival his seat. After his death, his widow Eva sold the rule to Kaspar von Bellwitz and Nostitz in 1559 , who in the same year passed it on to Christoph Popel von Lobkowicz on Bílina and food . Since the end of the 16th century, the village was called Hoření Beřkovice to distinguish it from a place of the same name .
From 1604 until his death in 1647 Wilhelm von Lobkowicz was the owner of Hoření Beřkovice, until 1615 together with his brother Wenceslaus, who died early. In 1655 the property passed from his widow Begina Katharina to Christoph Ferdinand Popel von Lobkowicz. This sold Hoření Beřkovice in the same year to Johann von Rottal , who left it to his son-in-law Ferdinand Ernst von Waldstein . His son Ernst Joseph von Waldstein sold Ober Berschkowitz in 1680 to Franz Ritter Scheidler von Scheidlern. Under his son Christoph Ferdinand Scheidler, the conversion of the fortress into a castle began in 1684.
Adam Franz von Hartig had the New Palace built in 1738 because he did not like the old one. In 1752 the Bohemian governor and court chancellor Rudolph Chotek von Chotkow acquired the rule. The Counts Ledebour followed in 1821 . Adolf von Ledebour sold Horní Beřkovice to Čeňek Count von Desfours -Walderode in 1841.
After the abolition of patrimonial Horní Beřkovice became an independent municipality in the Roudnice nad Labem district in 1848 . During the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866 there was a Prussian military hospital in the inn. In 1869 the landowner Josef Černý bought the castle. In 1889 Černý sold the castle to the administration of the Crown Land of Bohemia, which set up a state insane asylum in it the following year . In 1912 the primary school was built.
Since 1961 the community belongs to the Okres Litoměřice. From the 1st to the 9th grade, Horní Beřkovice is the school location for the neighboring towns of Ctiněves, Černouček, Kostomlaty pod Řípem and Libkovice pod Řípem .
