history
Varvažov was founded in the 13th century by the Order of Malta from Klingenberg Castle . The Maltese maintained a courtyard with a castle in the village. The place name is derived after Antonín Profous from the medieval German name Arbesau. The Arbese is to be translated here with the field crop pea , in the sense of pea. The place name Varvažov (Warwaschau) developed from this. In 1734 a chapel was built. In 1847, Prince Charles II of Schwarzenberg bought the Warwaschau rulership for 650,000 guilders from the Order of St. John and added it to his Fideikommissherrschaft Worlik . In 1925 a local history was created.
