history
Chvalčov is located at the foot of the Hostýn , the settlement of which can be proven by archaeological finds since the Upper Paleolithic . In the Celtic times, mighty fortifications with ramparts were built on the mountain. According to legend, during the invasion of the Golden Horde , the inhabitants of the area fled to the Hostýn in 1241.
The first written mention of Chwalzow took place in 1369 in the Brno country table in connection with the sale of the village Lhotka belonging to the Obřany Castle by Boček I of Podebrady to Heralt von Bučovice. In 1447 the place was called Chwaliczow and belonged to the Bystřice domain . In 1555 Přemek von Víckov acquired the estate with all its accessories. First he inherited Wilhelm von Víckov, then his sister Bohunka. She transferred the property to her husband Václav Bítovský von Bítov in 1613. He fled Moravia after the battle of the White Mountain and was sentenced in 1622 to lose his neck, honor and property in absentia. The new owner of the manor was Zdeněk Vojtěch von Lobkowicz , whose son sold it to Johann Anton von Rottal in 1650 . This united them with Holešov to one great rule. During the Thirty Years War the area was first devastated by the Swedes; after their departure there was an uprising against re-Catholicization in neighboring Wallachia . As a result, the whole area began to decline. In the inventory of the Bystřice estate, a total of 35 properties are shown for Chwalcžowa Lhotta and Chwalcžow in 1674, four of which were desolate. The residents of both places were obliged to do labor in the manorial hop garden in Prusinovice . In 1763 the line of the Counts of Rottal died out in the male line; when the lordship Holešov-Bystřice was divided among the heirs, Chwalcžow was again subject to Bystřice. In 1789 ownership passed to Franz Anton von Rottal's son-in-law, Count della Rovere di Monte l´Abbate, and in 1804 his nephew, Johann Nepomuk Count von Wengerský, inherited the rule. The oldest local seal dates from 1820, it bears the inscription PECZET OBCZE LHOTI A CHWALCZOWSKI . At that time the place consisted of 52 properties. From 1827 the Bystřice estate belonged to Count Laudon. In 1845 the village was called Chwalcžowa . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to Bystřice.
After the abolition of patrimonial Chwalcžowa / Chwalczow formed from 1850 a community in the district authority Holleschau . The current place name Chvalčov has been in use since 1872. Between 1886 and 1888, the railway line from Bystřice pod Hostýnem to Valašské Meziříčí was built north of the village. On August 19, 1951, the incorporation of Chvalčova Lhota took place. After the dissolution of the Okres Holešov, the community was assigned to the Okres Kroměříž in 1960. In 1976 Chvalčov was incorporated into Bystřice pod Hostýnem . The parish has existed again since February 28, 1990. In 2009 the gym was inaugurated.
One of the three Czech SOS Children's Villages is located in Chvalčov, alongside Doubí and Medlánky .
