history
The first written mention of the place comes from the year 1353 when Hroch von Kunstadt , his wife Margarethe von Sternberg assigned interest income from the villages Malhostovice and Horní Loučky as a dowry. In 1360 Gerhard von Kunstadt left his property, including the town and castle Kunštát , to his cousins Kuno von Luk, Vilém von Polehradice and Hroch von Loučky. Thereby the villages Dolní Loučky and Horní Loučky were attached to the rule Kunštát. Herolt Kuna von Kunstadt sold Dolní Loučky and Horní Loučky, including the desert castle Loučky, in 1502 to the brothers Jan and Václav from Lomnice on Náměšť . In 1519 Jan von Lomnice and Velká Bíteš sold the desert castle together with Horní Loučky and a small part of Dolní Loučky to the Porta Coeli monastery . In 1782 the monastery was closed by Emperor Joseph II as part of the Josephine reforms . Subsequently, the village became subject to the secular rule of Porta Coeli. The inhabitants of Horní Loučky lived from agriculture until the 18th century and earned extra income from weaving. Later some went to work in the Tišnov factories .
After the abolition of patrimonial Horní Loučka formed from 1850 a municipality in the Brno district and judicial district Tischnowitz . Since 1896 the village belonged to the newly formed district of Tischnowitz under the name Horní Loučky . Between 1940 and 1943 a waterworks and sewerage system were built in Horní Loučky. The construction was financed by a local entrepreneur Karel Zejda, owner of the Kazeto suitcase factory in Přerov . After the dissolution of the Okres Tišnov Horní Loučky came to the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou at the beginning of 1961 . At that time the village had 381 inhabitants. Since the beginning of 2005 the municipality belongs to the Okres Brno-venkov .
