history
Lochynice was first mentioned in 1143 in the founding deed of Strahov Monastery . It was one of the 13 villages from the Bydschow and Königgrätzer districts that Bishop Johann I had given to the Premonstratensian order. The existence of a parish church has been handed down since 1350. The church was devastated during the Hussite Wars and restored at the end of the 15th century. During this time Lochenice came to secular owners. In 1469 the town of Hradec Králové bought Lochenice from Lev Tluska from Čechtice. In 1586 the village and Předměřice were affected by a plague epidemic. In 1642 Lochenice was devastated during the Thirty Years War. The Berní rula from 1654 shows 16 farmsteads for the village, of which 13 burned down in the village fire of 1666. In 1714 the village was hit again by a major fire which left 17 properties in ruins. In the Seven Years' War in 1763 Prussian troops and then Cossacks looted the place. In 1772 several residents died again from the plague. Three years later peasant riots broke out and were violently suppressed.
After the abolition of patrimonial Lochenice formed a community in the Hradec Králové district from 1850 . Sugar beet cultivation began in 1851. In 1856 the railway line was built west of the village and on October 3, 1857 the first train drove from Pardubitz to Reichenberg. The village suffered damage from the military during the German War. On July 3, 1866, the Battle of Königgrätz took place a few kilometers west of the Chlum and Svíb . In 1911 746 people lived in Lochenice. Between 1915 and 1925 the river Elbe was regulated. From 1949 to 1960 the municipality was assigned to the Okres Hradec Králové-okolí.
