History
History
The first written mention of Krušovice is in a deed dating from the reign of King Ottokar (1253–1278). The village was owned by various lesser noblemen until 1583, when Emperor Rudolf II bought it to unify the Křivoklát estate. The beer brewing was first documented in 1581. During the Thirty Years' War, Krušovice was damaged and depleted, and it took a long time to recover from the effects of the war. In 1686, the estate was bought by Arnošt Josef of Waldstein. During his rule, Krušovice developed considerably. The Waldstein family owned the Křivoklát estate until 1733, when it was acquired by the Fürstenberg family. The Fürstenbergs owned Krušovice until the establishment of an independent municipality.
