The place Hrádek was established at the end of the 13th century in the vicinity of the Frymburk Castle.

During the Hussite Wars , the lord of the castle, Johann Městecký von Opočno, fought on the side of Emperor Sigismund , which is why Frymburk was conquered by the orphans in 1425 and burned down a little later.

In return for the damage suffered, the town of Hrádek was given the privilege of holding three annual markets and one weekly market .
