history

Petrovice was laid out in 1519 by the Pürglitzer castle captain Petr Holý von Chrást, halfway between the deserted villages of Hlivojedy and Jezevce that belonged to him. In 1545 Anna von Vřesovice acquired the fortress and the Šanov manor and slammed it into Petrovice. The following owners were Vilém Sviták von Landstein and Burian Prostibořský von Vrtba . In 1542 Václav Dlask from Vchynice bought Petrovice with the fortress and manor Šanov and half of Hostokryje. He expanded the estate to include the villages of Václavy and Řeřichy. The subsequent owners of Petrovice included Radslaw Wchinsky von Wchinitz from 1569 and Georg Hrobschitzky von Hrobschitz at the beginning of the 17th century . Because of his participation in the uprising of the estates, the Petrowitz estate was confiscated after the battle of the White Mountain and sold to Johann Zeller in 1623, followed by Marie Wchinsky von Wchinitz. From 1660 the estate belonged to Otto Georg Freiherrn von Helversen and then to Johann Josef von Waldstein . He had a new church built with a rectory and school on the hill south of the village, and after its completion in 1715, the Schanowa parish was relocated to Petrowitz. In the same year Waldstein transferred the estate to his daughter Maria Anna Fürstin zu Fürstenberg , who sold it to Georg Olivier von Wallis on January 13, 1732 . In 1744 the property was inherited by his son Stephan Olivier von Wallis , who combined the estate with the Koleschowitz rule and in 1823 had a new schoolhouse stolen. In 1832 his son Rudolf Olivier Graf von Wallis inherited the property, followed by his son Friedrich Olivier Graf von Wallis in 1838. The Petrowitz Allodialgut included the villages of Petrowitz, Schanowa, Neuhof ( Nový Dvůr ), Seywedel , Zdiar ( Žďáry ), Pričina , Senetz , Hostokreg ( Hostokryje ) and Nausowa ( Nouzov ).

In 1843 Petrowitz consisted of 65 houses with 516 inhabitants, including two Jewish families. The parish church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, the parish, the school and the bathhouse at the Heiligenbrunn spring were under official patronage. In the place there was an official castle with the castle chapel for the Archangel Michael and an apartment for officials, a Dominical Meierhof, a Dominical brewhouse, a Dominical Brannweishaus with potash boiling and a retreat. The small mill lay to one side. Petrowitz was the pastor for Schanowa, Neuhof, Seywedel, Zdiar, Pričina, Senetz, Nausowa and Röscha . Until the middle of the 19th century, Petrowitz remained the official village of the Petrowitz allodial estate, which was part of the Koleschowitz Fideikommissherrschaft.
