Sloupnice

Sloupnice is a municipality and village in Svitavy District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic.

The first written mention of Sloupnice is from 1292, when it was donated to Zbraslav Monastery by King Wenceslaus II.

However, the donation was probably cancelled and in the early 14th century, the nobleman Vítek of Švábenice was documented as the owner.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Sloupnice was acquired by Jan Kostka of Postupice, who annexed it to the Brandýs estate.

In 1783, the evangelical community, having survived in secret,[4] was established openly in Sloupnice, but services were first held in nearby Džbánov.
