history

The village was first mentioned in documents in 1305, when the abbot of Sedlec Monastery , Heinrich Heidenreich, acquired the Křivsoudov Castle and the Herálec fortress . The ten villages belonging to the fortress Herálec, Slavníč , Nová Ves , Pavlov, Mikulášov, Dubí, Bunovec, Weselí , Bonkow and Budíkov are listed in the purchase. In the archbishop's tax register of 1379 eight farmed hooves are named for Bonkow .

Around 1618 the Lords Trčka von Lípa bought the village from Christoph Karl von Ruppau on Herálec and added it to the Okrouhlice estate . When the owner of the Herálec, Pollerskirchen and Okrouhlice estates with Věž, Michael Achatius von Kirchner, left the Okrouhlice estate to Johann Peter Straka von Nedabylic and Libčan in 1708 , he separated Bonkow again from Okrouhlice and rejoined the village with the Herálec estate on. in 1714 Bonkow consisted of only four farms. The landlord Anton Freiherr von Gastheim had the Bonkower Hof founded in 1715 after purchasing a Doppelhüfner estate . In 1771 the village consisted of the Meierhof, three farms and six chalets. Later, two full-time jobs were split up into half-time jobs and additional chalets were built. In 1830 the owner of the Herálec estate, Theresia von Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg, had a distillery built on the farm, and a sawmill was built a little later.

In 1840 the village of Bonkow or Bonkau in the Caslauer Kreis consisted of 21 houses in which 169 people lived. In the village there was a manorial farm with a sheep farm, a brandy house and a board mill. Intensive cattle fattening for sale to the butchers took place on the Bonkower Hof. The parish was Heraletz. Until the middle of the 19th century Bonkow remained subject to the Heraletz rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Bonkov formed from 1849 a district of the Herálec municipality in the judicial district of Humpoletz . From 1868 the village belonged to the Deutschbrod district . In 1869 Bonkov had 196 inhabitants and consisted of 21 houses. The inspector of the Nordwestbahn Gustav Groß , who had acquired the Herálec manor in 1883, had the distillery modernized. With a daily production of seven hectoliters, it had become the third largest distillery in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The sawmill powered by transmission from the distillery was also improved; 1000–1500 m³ of logs could be cut during the firing campaign. The place name Boňkov has been used since 1886 . On February 15, 1893, Boňkov broke away from Herálec and formed its own community. In 1900 there were 191 people in Boňkov, in 1910 there were 179. The voluntary fire brigade was founded in 1905. On July 1, 1910, the community became part of the newly established Humpoletz district . In 1930 Boňkov had 170 inhabitants and consisted of 31 houses. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 and the abolition of the Okres Humpolec, the municipality was assigned to the Okres Havlíčkův Brod . In 1961 it was incorporated into Herálec. Boňkov broke away from Herálec at the beginning of 1992 and formed its own community. In the 2001 census, 58 people lived in the 38 houses of the community.

Attractions

Neo-Gothic chapel of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes in the village square, it was built in the first half of the 19th century and was originally dedicated to St. Consecrated to Wenceslas. In 1969 a repair took place. After the renovation in 2001, the chapel was rededicated.
Niche chapel of the Virgin Mary in the fields across the road to Skála. According to tradition, the church of Skála was to be built on the place where a battle took place during the Hussite Wars. After the building materials disappeared overnight, a rumor spread that the Lord wanted the church to be built in Skála rather than on the hill. Rather, it was the residents of Skála who took the material away because they wanted the church in the village.
