history
Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the community area. A burial ground of the Aunjetitz culture and individual barrows from the transition period between the Hallstatt and Latène periods were found on the Krliš hill . Iron Age barrows were also discovered on the Ers.
The plateau south of the Krliš was possibly the site of the battle on the Turzkoer Feld on May 10, 863 in the legendary meadow war between the tribes of the Czechs and Lutschanen , in which, according to the Chronica Boemorum , the troops of princes Neklan and Vlastislav met in campo, qui dicitur Turzko . The field name Na zabitém is recorded in the Úholičky cadastre on the site of the REGIOS landfill .
The first written mention of the village Crenuc (Czech Crunc ) took place in 1100 in connection with a donation of vršovci -Fürsten Nemoj to the chapter on Vyšehrad . The historical place name is derived from a Vladike family Črunta, other interpretations derive the name from the Celtic deity Cernunnos . In a document from the Insula monastery from 1205, the village was referred to as villa Crynucy, Naturscye . This is also the first reliable assignment of the Tursko locality as a local name for the plateau between the Zákolanský potok and the Vltava. Bohuslava of Černuc, the widow of Sulislav Zvěst of Pnětluky , donated the Černuc and Kralup estates to the Prague Hospital of St. Francis at the Bridge of the Cross with the Red Star . Previously, Queen Konstanze left the village of Vrbno to the hospital in 1236. In 1337, the Grand Master of the Cross, Ulrich bought the village of Dolan from Jesko Prosinka. At the beginning of the 15th century, the place name Černuc was changed to Tursko, possibly to better distinguish it from another village Černuc in the area. During the Thirty Years War, Swedish troops burned the entire village in 1637. From 1649 on, the Lords of the Cross began to rebuild the ruined village. In 1661 an extensive farm yard was built. A new church was built between 1698 and 1700. Part of the courtyard was converted into a baroque residence in 1725.
In 1843 the Tursko estate had a usable area of 2347 yoke 322 square fathoms; its area included the villages of Tursko and Kralup and 17 houses from Wrbno ( Vrbno ), 15 houses from Dolan and two houses from Hořín , in which a total of 765 people, including an Israelite family lived. The village of Tursko, located on Welwarner Strasse, consisted of 56 houses with 592 inhabitants. The parish church of St. Martin, the parish and the school were under stately patronage. There was also a stately castle in Tursko with the administrator's apartment, a dominical farm with a sheep farm and two inns. The one-layer Těssina ( Těšina ) , which consists of an inn, a chalet and a Dominikal house, lay apart . Tursko was the parish for Těssina. Tursko remained the official village of the Kreuzherrengut of the same name until the middle of the 19th century.
After the abolition of patrimonial Tursko formed from 1850 a municipality in the district and judicial district of Smíchov . In 1927 the municipality was assigned to the Praha-venkov district and the judicial district of Praha-západ. From 1929 Tursko belonged to the judicial district of Praha-sever. In 1932 the village had about 700 inhabitants. In 1942 Tursko became part of the newly formed Praha-venkov-sever district. After the end of the Second World War Tursko came to the judicial district of Praha-západ. Since 1949 the municipality has belonged to Okres Praha-západ . In the second half of the 20th century the Kreuzherrenhof fell into disrepair and was largely demolished.
