Hrádek u Sudoměře Archaeological site
Hrádek u Sudoměře, a locality also known as Back Hrádek, represents an archaeological site with remains of a fortified settlement. The locality was formed gradually in prehistoric and medieval times and is located in the North Bohemian landscape of the Mladá Boleslav district. Specifically, it is situated in the cadastral territory of the municipality Sudoměř, with its northern edge also affecting the municipality of Skalsko. An important part of the site is the remnants of the perimeter fortifications, which reveal how the settlement was protected and structured when people were staying here.
In the Middle Ages, it is assumed that the site was the place of the fallen rock castle. The idea of a medieval castle on a rock high corresponds to the period of fortification, when the fortresses were built on eminents providing natural defence potential. The archaeological findings and topography of the site support this assumption, although detailed information on the architecture or the original form of the castle is not entirely clear in the available resources.
The historical importance of Hradec u Sudoměře was officially recognised in 1988 when it was entered into the register of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic. By doing so, the State recognised its historical and scientific price and ensured legal protection. The entry meant that the site was part of the national cultural heritage and that it had to be protected for future generations and for scientific research.
At present Hrádek u Sudoměře has comprehensive protection - it is registered as a cultural monument, a natural monument and a European landmark. This layered protection points out that the site is worth not only to historians and archaeologists, but also to environmentalists and landscape specialists. The European status indicates that the site is part of the European cultural and natural heritage.
The visitors to the landscape between Sudoměři and Skalska may try to find the remains of the perimeter fortification and terrain forms that resemble the ancient settlement. Although they are not easy to read without professional guidance, the authenticity of the site and its protective status makes the place suitable for interested people in the medieval and prehistoric settlement of Bohemia.
