Hrušov was first mentioned in writing in 1346. The town’s historical landmarks also include Tvrziště Nad Čertůvkou, which is classified as a significant archaeological site in category UAN I.

History

The younger fortress near the Hrušov estate was built in the 14th century and received a new tower in 1501. The tower of the younger Hrušov fortress was blown up and completely removed in 1959. On a spur above the Četůvka, there are also old ramparts and ditches belonging to a small fortification.

Archaeology

The burial ground of the Únětice culture is designated as an archaeological site in Hrušov. It is located on a river terrace on the right bank of the Jizera and was archaeologically investigated in the 1950s. During the excavation of the burial ground, nine stone-lined inhumation graves were examined.

Art and Landscape

The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk depicts the kneeling saint in stone clouds before a cross brought to him by a small angel; a second angel emerges beside him. Its soft modelling and calm atmosphere are characteristic of late Baroque sculpture. In the fields, the statue stands about 2 kilometres from Hrušov on the route connecting Hrušov and Horky nad Jizerou, below a ridge offering views of the Kokořínsko region and Vrátenská hora.
