history
Archaeological finds show an early settlement of the municipality. The village and parish church are mentioned for the first time in 1305 as the property of the Lords of Deblín. After numerous changes of ownership, the Counts of Kaunitz acquired the village at the beginning of the 16th century . At the end of the 16th century, Krzenowitz, consisting of 61 properties, was one of the ten subordinate villages after Austerlitz and was the third largest after Hodějice and Rašovice . During the Thirty Years War the village became deserted. In 1645 only six properties were still in use. After the end of the war, resettlement began and in the hoof register of 1676 there are again 31 managed properties in Křenovice. Then the place reached its heyday; In 1772 the village, which then consisted of 71 houses, had the highest population in its history. The Counts of Kaunitz financed the construction of a new school in 1783. In 1788 127 children were enrolled in the village school. In the last days of November 1805, before the Battle of Austerlitz , the headquarters of the Russian Tsar Alexander I and Emperor Franz II were located in Krenowitz . Despite their numerical superiority and the weakness deftly feigned by Napoléon, Emperor Franz II and General Kutuzov hesitated , to launch an attack because their side expected reinforcements. In 1834 574 people lived in the 122 houses in the village.
After the replacement of patrimonial, the place belonged to the political district of Wischau from 1850 . In the second half of the 19th century the school moved into a new building. During this time the new cemetery and the railway line of the Imperial and Royal Northern Railway were built. In 1907 a new rectory was inaugurated, in 1921 the village was electrified and in 1927 the Rakovec was regulated. During the German occupation , Krenowitz was united with Birnbaum to form one community. After the end of the war, this was lifted again in 1945. Between 1949 and 1960 Křenovice was part of the Okres Slavkov and came back to Okres Vyškov after its dissolution .
