history
The village was founded between the 13th and 14th centuries during the colonization of the area on an old trade route between Bohemia and the County of Glatz and was named after its locator . Villa Helwicowicz was first mentioned in a document in 1365 when Johann von Lichtenburg sold the Litice estate to Heinrich von Leipa .
As part of the Litice rule, Helvíkovice belonged to the lords of Kunstadt from 1371 , from whom it fell to their descendants from Podebrady . It came to his son Duke Heinrich the Elder via the Bohemian King George of Podebrady . Ä. from Münsterberg . In 1495 Wilhelm II of Pernstein acquired Helvíkovice. His grandson Jaroslav sold it in 1556 to the pledge holder of the County of Glatz , Ernst Duke of Bavaria . After his death in 1561 Václav Okrouhlický von Kněnice bought the village, who died shortly afterwards. In 1563 Nikolaus von Bubna bought the property, whose descendants kept it until 1809.
In 1534 the knight Severin Helvíkovec from Helvíkovice on Žamberk on the left bank of the river founded the manorial Popluží, on the grounds of which he had a fortress built, which fell into disrepair during the Thirty Years' War.
In 1676 Franz Adam von Bubna had the Haňkov manor built northeast of Helvíkovice, which was parceled out in 1776. The present-day village of Haukov arose from it. Later, the Helvíkovický farm, today Dolní Dvůr, was built in the marshy area west of the village, to which the residents of Záchlumí, Litice and Kameničná were obliged to use robots . A brick factory and a manorial mill had been in operation in Helvíkovice since the 17th century. In 1793 the village school started teaching.
In 1809 Weriand Alfred zu Windisch-Graetz acquired the rule. After John Parish , the eldest son of the Hamburg merchant of the same name, John Parish, had acquired Žamberk with Litice from Count zu Windisch-Graetz in 1815, he had a pheasantry built east of the Helvíkovický rybník and a hunting lodge built there in Empire style. After the abolition of patrimonial Helvíkovice became an independent municipality in 1848. The large estates remained in the possession of the Parish family until it was expropriated in 1948.
In 1974 the school was closed. On January 1, 1975 Helvíkovice was incorporated into Žamberk. Since January 1, 1991 the place has been an independent municipality again.
