history

The first written mention of Vilantice took place in 1490 under the possessions of the Kordul from Slaupno on Wrzesstiow ( Vřešťov ). After the Thirty Years' War, Bernharb Lux von Luxenstein bought Wrzesstiow Castle. He finally sold the rule to Johann von Sporck , who united it with Hořeniowes . In 1790 Emperor Joseph II bought the rule because he needed parts of the land for the construction of the fortress Ples . He then united them with Smiřice to form one rule. In 1834 Vilantice / Wilantitz consisted of 98 houses, including a tavern. The place was popularly referred to as Fillenz . Three of the 638 inhabitants were Protestants. The Catholic parish was Chotěborky. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was subordinate to the Imperial and Royal Chamber of Commerce Smiritz - Hořeniowes .

From 1850 Vilantice and the district Chotěborky formed a municipality in the district administration of Königinhof . During the German occupation , the municipality was given the official place name Fillenz . In 1949 Vilantice was assigned to the Okres Jaroměř. After its abolition, the place was part of the Okres Náchod in 1961 and on July 1, 1972 in the Okres Trutnov . The district of Chotěborky was declared a historical monument on January 1, 2005.
