The first written mention of the place took place in 1226 as the seat of Vladiken Křišťan of Svinčan. In the course of the following time the owners of the property changed several times. The celebrations Svinčany was destroyed Hungarian Bohemian-the end of the 15th century during the war. In 1542 Johann von Gersdorff acquired the Svinčany estate and added it to his Choltitz reign . The Swintschaner church served the Choltitz family branch of the von Gersdorff as a burial place. The next owner was Georg von Gersdorff († 1612). After his death, the brothers Stephan and Bernard Niklas von Gersdorff shared the rule. Bernard Niklas received the Svinčany estate, which was expanded to include the village of Urbanice . After the Battle of the White Mountain , the Svinčany estate was confiscated in 1623 because Bernard Niklas von Gersdorff, like his brother Stephan, had participated in the Bohemian uprising . The Svinčany estate was sold to Christoph Simon von Thun in 1624 , who had also acquired the Choltitz estate and reunited the two. From 1764 to 1768 the church was rebuilt at the instigation of Franz Josef von Thun and Hohenstein. The imperial counts of Thun and Hohenstein elevated the Choltitz rule to a family fideikommiss and held the property until the 20th century. In 1824, the Choltitz rulership had good soil excavated on the desolate hill near Chudoba and an orchard with 8,000 trees was established, the hill was henceforth called Johannisberg .

In 1835, the in consisted Chrudim District village located Swintschan of 69 houses in which 501 people, including two Protestant families lived. Under the patronage of the authorities were the parish church of St. Laurentius and the school. In addition, Swintschan had a rectory, a farm, a sheep farm and an inn. Swintschan was the parish for Chrtnik , Jedausow , Raschkowitz ( Raškovice ), Swogschitz , Ledetz ( Ledec ), Wesely , Stogitz and Lepegowitz ( Lepějovice ); There were branch churches in the last two places mentioned. Until the middle of the 19th century Swintschan remained subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Choltitz.

From 1868 the community belonged to the Pardubitz district . The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1885. In 1902 a new cemetery was laid out in the fields northeast of the village; In 1904, the vicar František Kvěch had the last burial in the churchyard. 1949 Svinčany was assigned to the Okres Přelouč; Horní Raškovice was separated from Svinčany and merged with Dolní Raškovice to form the Raškovice municipality. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 the Okres Přelouč was abolished, since then the village has belonged to the Okres Pardubice. 1964 Dolní Raškovice and Horní Raškovice were incorporated.
