history
The first written mention of the village Javorovice was made in 1348 in the Moravian land table . Later the place was also called Javorové, Javorov or Javoří. The current name Javoříčko has been documented since 1464.
Since 1850 the municipality Javoříčko belonged to the Litovel district . In 1868 the village became a district of Březina and from 1890 it belonged to Střemeníčko. At the beginning of the 20th century, the place became a summer resort because of its location in a romantic valley near Bouzov Castle . In 1937 Javoříčko had 174 inhabitants and consisted of 33 houses. In 1938 the forester Vilém Švec discovered the Javoříčko cave in the Špránekberg, where limestone quarries were once operated.
On May 5, 1945, Javoříčko was stormed on suspicion of supporting partisans by a detachment of the SS stationed at Bouzov Castle under the command of Sergeant Egon Lüdemann, and all 38 men over 15 years of age in the village at that time were shot. Except for the chapel and the school, the entire village was burned down. Since then, the place has also been called the Moravian Lidice . The background to this massacre could not be fully clarified. It is likely that residents of the place worked with the Yermak partisan unit.
After the Second World War, Javoříčko emerged as a small settlement northeast of the former village in a new place. In 1955 there were 12 people living in Javoříčko's three houses.
In 1955, on the site of the old village above the mass grave, the Victory Monument created by the sculptor Jan Tříska and the architect Miroslav Putna was erected, which in 1978 was declared a National Cultural Monument of Czechoslovakia .
After the dissolution of the Okres Litovel, the place came to the Okres Olomouc in 1961. At the same time Javoříčko was incorporated into Luká with the municipality of Střemeníčko . In 1991 the place had 60 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 15 houses in which 52 people lived.
