CoA and flag of Hnevo�ice (Opava, Moravosilesian region), adopted 27 Jan
1997. The sheep is different from the one on Exner's VexLex97.
Number of inhabitants by 31.12. 2000: 1036. The first written trace
of the village dated back to 1288. Hn�vo�ice was an independent knight's
estate and vassal of Princes of Opava. Since Hussite wars Hn�vo�ice was
owned by the family of Kyjovec from Lukavec. In the 16th century the village
had several owners. Under Jan Kry�tof �arovec in 1771 there were four gardens,
one-hall mill, pub, pond, and a yard. At those days there were 14 farmers,
16 gardeners and 10 smallholders. J.K.�arovec built there a small Baroque
chateau. This chateau became desolate in 1795. In the village there is
a timbered wooden Baroque church (kostel sv-Petra a Pavla) built in 1730
and reconstructed in 1842. The church is a unique cultural sight. The grove
of Hn�vo�ice was declared a wildlife reserve. The grove is characterised
by Carpathian flora of low-laying forests.
