History

[edit]

The first written mention of Janůvky is from 1365, when it belonged to the Moravská Třebová estate. For centuries, the inhabitants made a living from agriculture and weaving. In the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, mining of lignite, refractory clay and fire clay developed.[2]
