history

The village was first mentioned in 1258 as New Bramow in a document of Ottokar II Přemysl and was under the jurisdiction of Jevíčko . At that time, the Strenitzer Landessteig was an important trade connection through the Třebůvka valley. In the first half of the 14th century, the Lords of Boskowitz built the Vraní Hora castle, which in 1351 was raised to the center of a dominion comprising seven surrounding villages. Jan von Boskowitz acquired Lhota in 1355. In 1389 Margrave Jobst of Moravia destroyed the castle and took over the rule. He pledged the rule of Vraní Hora to Heralt von Kunstadt , who was a follower to him from 1397 in the feuds with his brother Prokop .

Subsequently, the rule was u. a. pledged to the noble families von Busau, Wildenberg and Lhotský von Ptení. Katharina von Busau probably had the fortress built in 1406. Jiřík Lhotský von Ptení owned the fortress in 1497, while the Vraní Hora castle, which was believed to have been completely ruined during the Hussite Wars, was described as desolate. On the Fabricius map of Moravia from 1575, the German name Braunöhlhütten can be traced for the first time . Until 1587 the Lhotský von Ptení remained the owners of Lhota. In 1597 the Drahanovský von Pěnčín acquired the property, which they sold together with Roveň to Nikolaus Ferdinand Reiter von Hornbek in 1694. In 1698 Johann Adam I. Andreas von Liechtenstein bought Lhota from him. Anton Florian von Liechtenstein sold Lhota in 1716 to Wilhelm Albrecht Kolowrat von Liebstein on Biskupice . Lhota remained part of the Biskupice rule until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848. Pauline Steinbrecher from Mährisch Trübau had the sawmill built in 1825 replaced by a fulling mill in 1838. In 1842 Prince Hugo Karl Eduard Salm-Reifferscheidt bought the Walke. Iron was smelted in Lhota from the second half of the 16th century. Hugo zu Salm-Reifferscheidt also acquired the ironworks for his ironworks in Blansko in 1842 and had a blast furnace built to prevent the iron ore extracted from 17 iron shafts in the area. In 1854 there were 469 people in the village. After its closure in 1882, the former ironworks in Braunöhlhütten were converted into the Novotný wool spinning mill in 1901 . This was rebuilt in 1920 after a fire as a two-story mechanical weaving mill Chaimowitz & Kreisler. In 1930 the weaving mill ceased operations. There was also a brewery, malt house, distillery and mill in the village.

From 1850 the village belonged to the Okres Moravská Třebová and after the German occupation in 1939 came first to the Boskowitz district, then in 1941 to the Littau district. After the end of the Second World War Vranová Lhota came back to Okres Moravská Třebová and after its dissolution in 1961 to Okres Svitavy. In 1900 the place had 405 inhabitants, in 1930 there were 410. The population was predominantly Czech, until 1945 there was a German minority. In 1950 there were 308 people in Vranová Lhota. In 1960 Vranová was incorporated with its district Hraničky. The most important company is Armaturka as
