history

The village was founded in 1700 by the Schatzlar Jesuits and is named after its location on the mountain moat. The chapel was built at the end of the 18th century.

In 1833 the village of Berggraben , located in the Königgrätzer Kreis , consisted of 32 houses in which 220 German-speaking people lived. The residents were farmers, weavers, spinners and day laborers. There was a stately forester's house in the village. Berggraben was parish after Bernsdorf . Until the middle of the 19th century the village remained subservient to the Schatzlar lordship.

After the abolition of patrimonial , Berggraben formed a district of the municipality of Bernsdorf / Bernartice in the judicial district of Schatzlar from 1849 . In 1868 the village was assigned to the Trautenau district . In 1869, 257 people lived in the 33 houses of Berggraben . During this time, the work in the Lampersdorf and Schatzlar coal mines developed into the main source of income for the residents: while most of the men drove into the coal pits, the women worked the fields and kept cattle. Except for the chapel and an inn, there was no infrastructure in Berggraben . In 1900 the village consisted of 33 houses and 201 inhabitants. In 1921 Berggraben had 181 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the village was added to the German Reich in autumn 1938 and belonged to the Trautenau district until 1945 . After the end of World War II in 1945, Berggraben returned to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled . In 1947 the village was renamed Vrchová . In 1950, 146 people lived in the 37 houses in Vrchová. In 1961 Vrchová had only 85 inhabitants. In March 1980 the sparsely populated village lost the status of a district of Bernartice.
