history
The first written mention of the villages Rajhradice and Loučka took place in 1048 in the founding deed of the Rajhrad monastery together with Popovice , Rajhrad , Opatovice , Ořechov and Domašov as monastic property.
The eastern settlement of Dunajovice, which also belongs to the monastery, died out in the 15th century after a village fire and the subsequent outbreak of the plague.
After the abolition of patrimonial Louka and Rajhradice formed two independent communities in the district administration Hustopeče from 1850 . At the end of the 19th century, the name of the municipality Louka changed to Loučka . In 1948 both communities were assigned to the Okres Židlochovice. In 1951 the municipalities Loučka and Rajhradice merged to form a municipality Rajhradice . Since then, both villages have merged into one unit as a result of the construction work along the connecting road. After the dissolution of the Okres Židlochovice, the community was assigned to the Okres Brno-venkov in 1961 and at the same time Otmarov was incorporated. Otmarov broke up again in 1990.
