history

At the end of the 19th century, a large group of Slavic barrows were discovered near the Soví forest house in the Jahodinská forest. In 1903, the archaeologist Josef Ladislav Píč put their number at around a hundred, 40 of which are still preserved today.

The first written mention of the village took place in 1219 as a Vladikensitz . It is believed that Borovany originally belonged to the Bernartice estate . In 1399, after the death of Kunrát von Bernartice, his two sons Buzek and Peter von Borovany inherited the property. In their time there was probably a second strong festival near Borovany. The fortresses stood on both sides of the Hrádek pond, which used to be in the area where the Borovanský potok meets the Velký Borovanský rybník. After the Hussite Wars , Borovany was divided; The owner of the farm was Mikuláš Krchleby on Bernartice, the village belonged to the Podolský von Podoly family . A little later, Johann Bechinie von Lazan acquired both Bernartice and Podoly. When the inheritance was divided between his three sons, Burian Bechinie received the rule of Bechin from Lazan in 1477 . Thereby were u. a. the desert fortress Podolí with a farm, the village and a mill near Podolí, the villages Rakov and Borovany, the desert village Lhota, half of the town Bernartice with the church patronage and the farm yard Rataje are mentioned. Burian bought the other half of Bernartice in the same year and merged the Bernartice and Borovany estates again. At the end of the 15th century Borovany was again separated from Bernartice and became a national estate. The owner of the estate, Adam Bechinie von Lazan, had a third fortress built in Borovany in the middle of the 16th century. At the beginning of the Thirty Years War, the village was attacked by troops in 1620; In the memorial book of the Bernartice Church there is a message that all the farmers of Borovany were murdered when they armed themselves against the military. Adam's grandson, Ulrich Andreas Bechinie von Lazan, sold the Borovany estate with the farm, brewery, mill, sheep farm, lime kiln, half of Bernartice including two Kretschen , the village of Rakov and the Vorwerkshof in Podolí in 1623 for 14,000 Schock Meissen groschen to the Prague Jesuit -Collegium of St. Clemens . In 1657 Borovany was described in the berní rula as almost completely desolate and corrupt. A total of 41 people lived in the courtyard, the mill and the six chalets. After the Jesuits also acquired the Wopařan estate in 1669 , the two estates were combined. In the middle of the 18th century Borovany consisted of five farms, two small farmers and four chalupners. After the Jesuit ban of 1773, the Clementinum's property was confiscated from the court chamber in favor of the study fund. In 1825, Prince Karl von Paar acquired the Wopařan and Bernarditz estate in the course of a public auction. In 1840 Borowan / Borowany consisted of 43 houses with 364 inhabitants. In the village there was an inn and a two-speed mill. On the other side were the abandoned St. Rosalien chapel with two single-layer chalets and the single-layer Hwizdalka, which consists of three small houses. The parish and school location was Bernarditz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Borowan was always subject to the allodial rule of Wopořan and Bernaditz .

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Borovany / Borowan 1850 a district of the municipality Svatkovice / Swatkowitz in the district administration Milevsko / Mulhouse and the Judicial District Bechyně / Bechin. After the manor with the old fortress burned down in 1867, it was demolished. A walled-in human skeleton was found. Investigations revealed that these were the bones of a young girl who had been walled into the foundation during the construction of the fortress in order to make them impregnable according to medieval superstitions. On January 17, 1874, Borovany, like Rakov, broke away from Svatkovice and formed their own communities. In 1881 a separate single-class school was inaugurated on the village square, which started two-class teaching at the beginning of 1885. The volunteer fire brigade was formed in 1895. In 1930 Borovany consisted of 81 houses and had 425 inhabitants, who lived mainly from agriculture. In 1926 a third inn opened. Since 1960 the community has belonged to the Okres Písek . On January 1, 1976, it was incorporated into Bernartice. After a referendum, Borovany broke away from Bernartice on November 24, 1990 and formed its own municipality. On June 20, 2008, astronaut Eugene Cernan visited the village where his mother's parents, Rozálie Cihlářová, came from. Borovany has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2009.
