The first possible mention of Jehnice dates from 1292, in the following centuries the village belonged mainly to the Lichtenburgs and mainly to the Boskovices.

A part of the village has been a free manor since the Middle Ages, which was also purchased by the Lichtensteins at the end of the 18th century.

In 1801, a small independent estate was created from Jehnice and Mokrá Hora, gradually with different owners.

Due to its forest character, the Jehnice area is used as a tourist and recreational facility for the residents of Brno.

On the road to Vranov there is a listed church of God's torment, right in the village there is a bell tower and several other sights.
