According to old traditions should after Trutnov Dorfchronik Simon Hüttels in the years 1009 and 1020 here the Trutnov vassal Bartoloměj Svatoň at the behest of the Duke Udalrich at the mouth of the creek Zaječí in the Rtyňka a stronghold erected.

Svatoňovice was founded in 1260 during the settlement of the Habicht Mountains by Peter von Skalice . At the beginning of the 14th century the village came under the rule of Wiesenburg , which comprised 20 villages and the towns of Úpice and Kostelec .

Between 1357 and 1359, Albert von Svatoňovice is the owner of the fortress. Under the lords of Kunstadt and Podiebrad , the Wiesenburg estates were attached to the Nachod rule in 1471 . The Trautenau chronicler Simon Hüttel reported on the first hard coal discovery in the Habichts Mountains, which took place near Markausch in 1590.

On October 27, 1715, the farmer Wenzel Schreiber installed a wooden statue of Mary with a Christ child on a dead cherry tree to the east of the village at a well fed by seven springs on the edge of the Habicht Mountains. After a year later the tree, which had been frozen and withered since 1709, fell again and bore fruit on seven branches, the well was revered as miraculous and visited by the sick, who asked the Virgin Mary for release from their suffering. In 1731 the well was bricked up. A wooden chapel was built next to it, which was replaced a little later by a pilgrimage church. At the same time a hydrotherapy institute was founded there. Since then, Svatoňovice has become an important place of pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary.

At the end of the 18th century, coal deposits were discovered east of Svatoňovice on the slopes of the Habicht Mountains . 1800 began jacking the Xaver- Erbstollens . At the foot of the mountains there was a miners' settlement called Studánka svatoňovická (Schwadowitzer Brünnl) or Svatoňovičky (Klein Schwadowitz). In 1826 the place Schwadowitz ( Svatoňovice ) was divided into the two villages Klein Schwadowitz ( Malé Svatoňovice ) and Groß Schwadowitz ( Velké Svatoňovice ). Until the abolition of patrimonial in 1848 Velké Svatoňovice was under the rule of Náchod .

On January 28, 1880 Malé Svatoňovice was separated from Velké Svatoňovice and became an independent municipality. Until 1945 the goods belonged to Count Schaumburg-Lippe auf Náchod. The last owner, Friedrich zu Schaumburg-Lippe , was deported as a German citizen after the Second World War on May 12, 1945 across the nearby state border to Sackisch in the former district of Glatz .
