history
The history of the place, first mentioned in 1110, is closely linked to the history of the Křivoklát Castle . In the 14th century, laborers and craftsmen began to settle below the castle. This place was called Budy at the beginning. In the 16th century a courtyard and a manor mill were built. After the marriage of Karl Egon II zu Fürstenberg with Amalie von Baden in 1818, he merged the individual districts that had arisen up to that point and renamed them Amalienberg ( Amalín ). On December 1, 1886, the population decided to rename it to Pürglitz (Křivoklát). The town belonged to the Fürstenbergs until 1929, when it was sold to the Czech state. In 2006 the status as a minor town (Czech: Městys ) was renewed. The Anetta Keys model was born here in 1983.
