history

Práčov was first mentioned in writing in 1349. In the period between 1364 and 1366, the owner of the Strádov castle , Jaroš Lacembok of Chlum, founded the Minorite Monastery of St. James in Práčov. In February 1421 the monastery was burned down by troops from the city of Chrudim, which had joined the Hussites . The southern part of the monastery church and the monastery buildings were destroyed. In 1564 Práčov was attached to the Seč dominion . Wenzel Robenhaupt von Sucha sold the Seč rule in 1583 to the brothers Georg and Albrecht Brucknar von Bruckstein. The following landlord was from 1597 Karl Záruba von Hustířan. In 1628 Johann Záruba von Hustířan sold the Seč rule to the imperial lieutenant colonel Franz de Cuvier, who united it with his Nassaberg rule . After the death of his son and heir Emanuel de Cuvier († 1663) the rule fell to Nassaberg with Seč's mother, Rosina de Cuvier, née von Heiden, who was married to Nikolaus von Schönfeld for the second time . At the end of the 17th century, Joseph Franz von Schönfeld had a pond built below Práčov. In 1714 the papermaker Peter Seifert built a paper mill by the pond. After the fire of 1739, the paper mill was rebuilt. In 1753, the rulership of Nassaberg fell to Johann Adam von Auersperg as the universal heir of the Counts of Schönfeld, who died out with Joseph Franz von Schönfeld († 1737). In 1754 the Budissin papermaker, Anton Ritschel, bought the paper mill, in which 6 journeymen and 3 apprentices were working at that time. In 1787 a localist was appointed at the expense of the religious fund, and a school was later set up.

In 1835, the village of Pratschow or Pračow , located in the Chrudim district , consisted of 7 houses in which 49 people lived. The local church of James the Great, the localist house and the school were under the patronage of the religious fund. Pratschow was the parish for Swidnitz , Trpischow ( Trpišov ), Wegsonin ( Výsonín ), Brusy and Kuchanowitz ( Kochánovice ). The Ritschel family operated the paper mill until 1838 and then sold it for 23,000 guilders to the miller Josef Jeřábek, whose son - a trained papermaker - modernized and managed it. Until the middle of the 19th century Prachev remained subject to Nassaberg rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Práčov formed from 1849 a district of the municipality Svídnice in the judicial district Nassaberg . Because of the decline in paper production, a grinding mill was installed at the paper mill at this time; In 1854 both burned down. Paper production was stopped in 1861; the name Papírna was transferred to the still operated Upper Svídnica Mill. From 1868 the village belonged to the political district of Chrudim . In 1869 Práčov had 72 inhabitants, in 1890 there were 59. In 1910, 88 people lived in Práčov. With the construction of the Křížanovice II retention basin, the Papírna mill and the mill pond went out in 1954 , and the hydroelectric power station was built at the same time. Between 1961 and 1971 Práčov belonged to the Svídnice-Trpišov municipality . In the 2001 census, there were 47 people in the 22 houses in Práčov.

Attractions

In 1674 it was restored in the Baroque style. In 1773 the church was built over, and in 1787 it was given a localist. The last renovation took place in 1856. The cultural monument is in danger of collapsing, the tower built on 15 m high Gothic foundation walls has become unstable and its anchoring threatens to break out of the west facade.
