history

Lhota Rapotina was founded in the 12th century as part of the settlement of the dense forests of the Drahaner Bergland. The village belonging to the Boskovice dominion was one of the numerous villages founded according to the Lhot system , whose settlers were exempt from duties and services to the authorities for a certain period of time. The first written mention of the place took place in 1364 when Ulrich von Boskowitz sold a farm in the village to Bertlém von Lhota Rapotina. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the name Lhota při potoku Bělá ( Lhota under the Bielabach ) was also in use. The origin of the epithet Rapotina is unclear , on the one hand it is interpreted as a locator name Rapoty, on the other hand a Celtic origin of the word is considered possible. The village was the seat of the Vladiken family of Lhota Rapotina and later had changing owners.

The Dietrichsteiners on Boskovice had a small hunting lodge built in 1833, which was used as a forester's house in the second half of the 19th century.
