history

The first written mention of the village took place in 1176. In older scripts, the village was called Ivanovice or Ejvanovice . The owners of the place changed many times. One of them in the 16th century was Christoph von Hardegg , who became a Lutheran. In 1540 Vanovice received the first evangelical pastor. After the Battle of White Mountain , the parish became Catholic again in 1622. Although the Protestants were expelled from the country in the same year, Catholicism found little support among the population. According to the Josephine tolerance patent , 35 families accepted the Protestant denomination, only eight remained Catholic. As early as 1782, the evangelical residents asked Emperor Joseph II for permission to build a church. On October 15, 1782, a provisional Protestant prayer house was consecrated in Vanovice. In 1784 an evangelical school was established in Vanovice. From 1828 a large church began to be built at the eastern end of the village, which was largely financed as a collection of the evangelical residents of the area. Prince Kukaňský, a Catholic, donated 500 guilders. The iron striking mechanism in the towers was a gift from the British Queen. After the second church was built, two centers were formed around the churches.

After the abolition of patrimonial Vanovice formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Boskovice . At the beginning of 1961 Vanovice was assigned to the Okres Blansko and at the same time Drvalovice was incorporated.
