history

According to the form of its name, Holany is one of the oldest Slavic settlements in the Česká Lípa district. It was first mentioned in writing in the middle of the 14th century, when Holany belonged to the Bergers. In the middle of the 15th century it came into the possession of the Wartembergers as part of the Rybnov estates. In the 16th century, these aristocrats united the area around Česká Lípa to form the Nový zámek estates and had their seat at the Zahrádky Castle.

Holany was a market center because of its convenient location. The sources refer to it as a town, although the population never exceeded 500. Its decline into a village began with the closure of the markets after the construction of the new roads at the beginning of the 19th century and was sealed by the fire of 1863. The inhabitants lived from small-scale trades, agriculture, mainly hops for export, pond farming and fruit growing.

Outstanding in the history of the place is the peasant uprising from 1680. From the middle of the 19th century the community belonged to the judicial district of Bohemian Leipa or the district of Bohemian Leipa .

Before the Munich conference, a fraternization celebration between Czechs and anti-fascist Germans took place here on August 28, 1938, the significance of which went beyond the boundaries of the district.

There is an architecturally valuable baroque church from 1785 in the village and a number of derelict fortresses and castles in the vicinity.

In 2006 the municipality was given the status of Městys .
