Culture and History

Boudy was established around 1640–1650 on clearings in the royal forests that Charles IV donated to the royal town of Písek in 1348 and which remained in its possession until 1948. The authorities in Písek built Budský dvůr in 1720. A potash works once stood on the grounds of Budský dvůr.

About 0.5 km from the village of the same name, only the main residential and farm building and a remnant of the farm wing with a granary and stables remain of the Boudy farmstead. The farm building east of the actual farmyard stands on the site of the former sheep pen.

Mikoláš Aleš met his future wife, Marina, at Budský dvůr. An original drawing by Mikoláš Aleš has been preserved on one of the walls of Budský dvůr.

The prehistoric Hrad hillfort near Čimelice dates from 600–450 BC and is one of the best-documented Hallstatt-period hillforts. The Hrad hillfort consists of two dry-stone wall rings and an inner wall that regularly enclose the summit of the distinctive hill. Archaeological excavations suggest that Hrad may have served as a meeting place for special events, celebrations, and other ceremonies.
