history

The village was probably founded at the beginning of the 16th century by the owners of the Skal castle . The place name is derived from the rocky area, possibly also from the castle. The first written mention of Skalka took place in 1542 as part of the castle lordship of Skal. In the course of the division of the estate between the brothers Věněk Skoch and Bernart Hertvík Čertorejský von Čertorej, governor of the Königgrätzer district († 1654), the dominion Katzenstein ( Skály ) was divided in 1625 . As a result of the division, the neighboring villages to the south and west fell to Bernart Hertvík Čertorejský, who made Starkstadt his seat. In 1662 the newly founded Diocese of Königgrätz acquired the Katzenstein estate from Wilhelm Albrecht Kolowrat -Krakowsky as a donation for the cathedral chapter ; Bishop Matthäus Ferdinand Sobek von Bilenberg gave the estate the new name Bischofstein .

In 1833, the village of Skalka in the Königgrätzer Kreis consisted of 73 houses in which 429 people lived. There was a mill in the village. The main source of income was agriculture and hand-weaving. The parish was Starkstadt . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subject to Gut Bischofstein.

After the abolition of patrimonial Skalka / Skalky formed a community in the judicial district of Politz from 1849 . In 1868 the village was assigned to the Braunau district . In Skalka there were three flax dealers who operated five crushing houses in the village. In 1885 the village had 502 inhabitants, all of whom belonged to the German ethnic group. In 1894 Skalka became part of the newly formed judicial district Wekelsdorf . In 1900 there were 414 German-speaking people in Skalka. Home weaving came to a standstill at the beginning of the 20th century. A further source of income was trading in butter until the dairy was founded. In 1913 the village had 410 inhabitants, 406 of them Germans and 4 Czechs. The Czech place name Skalky was also changed to Skalka in 1920 by order of the Linguistic Commission in Prague . In 1920 the village had 367 inhabitants; ten years later there were 347, including three Czechs. After the Munich Agreement , Skalka was added to the German Reich in autumn 1938 and belonged to the Braunau district until 1945 . In 1939 the community had 318 inhabitants. After the end of World War II in 1945, Skalka returned to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled . In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 the Okres Broumov was abolished, since then Skalka has belonged to the Okres Náchod. In the same year it was incorporated into Česká Metuje . In 1961, 86 people lived in Skalka. In 1991 Skalka had 9 residents. In 2001 the village consisted of 24 houses and 11 residents.

Because of the preserved historical structure, Skalka was placed under protection as a village monument zone in 2004.
