history

Archaeological finds show that there was a fortified settlement on the spur above the village.

The first written mention of Srbce was in 1354. Between 1415 and 1450 the village belonged to the estates of the Vladiken Brázda on Domanice . After the Domanice fortress was extinguished, Srbec became subject to the Koschumberg Castle.

In 1835 the village of Srbetz , located in Chrudim County , consisted of 35 houses in which 188 people lived. There was an inn in the village. The parish was Lusche . Until the middle of the 19th century Srbetz remained subject to the Koschumberg estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial Srbce formed from 1849 a district of the municipality Voletice in the judicial district Hohenmauth . At the end of the 1850s, Srbce broke away from Voletice and formed its own municipality. From 1868 the community belonged to the political district Hohenmauth . In 1869 Srbce had 218 inhabitants and consisted of 45 houses. At that time the village was dominated by agriculture and there were no craftsmen.

In 1880 the village reached the highest population in its history with 225 inhabitants. In 1900 there were 221 people in Srbce, compared to 210 in 1910. The voluntary fire brigade was founded in 1924. In 1930 the village had 207 inhabitants.

Since 1961 the community belongs to Okres Chrudim. On April 30, 1976, Srbce was incorporated into Luže. At the 2001 census there were 64 people living in the 39 houses of Srbce.
