The first written references to Budkov date from 1353; Jan z Budkova is named as its first owner. In front of the western main portal of Kostel sv. Martina is an access staircase with seven stone steps and a low parapet wall, decorated with Baroque sculptures of Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint John Sarkander.
Landscape
Budkov lies in a broad depression where the Bíhanka rises. To the north, east and west of Budkov rises the Markvartická pahorkatina, which forms part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.
In good visibility, the view from the hills around Budkov extends as far as Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg near Vienna in Austria.
