'''Sloupnice''' is a large [[village]] in the [[Svitavy District]] (until January 1, 2007, in the [[Ústí nad Orlicí District]]) of the [[Pardubice Region]] in the northeast of [[Bohemia]], [[Czech Republic]]. It lies in the north of [[Svitavy District]], near the border of [[Ústí nad Orlicí District]]. The village is surrounded by five towns: [[Litomyšl]] - the nearest one, [[Ústí nad Orlicí]], [[Česká Třebová]], [[Vysoké Mýto]] and [[Choceň]].
'''Sloupnice''' is a municipality and village in [[Svitavy District]] in the [[Pardubice Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. It has about 1,800 inhabitants.


==Administrative parts==
== Topography ==
The municipality is made up of the village parts of Dolní Sloupnice and Horní Sloupnice and the hamlets of Končiny 1.díl and Končiny 2.díl.


==Etymology==
Sloupnice is [[linear village]] formed around the east-west road connecting towns [[Ústí nad Orlicí]] and [[Vysoké Mýto]]. Although the length of the village along the road is approximately 6.5&nbsp;km, the width of village is up to 500 m. The bus station in the middle of the village is the only open space area that can be considered as a village square or village green. The brook of Bílá Labuť (White Swan in English) flows close to the major road in the lower based two-thirds of village.
The name "Sloupnice" has been transferred from the name of the eponymous local stream, mentioned first in 1167. The stream's name probably originates from the word ''slup'' used for a basket used in fishery. The name Končiny referred to a place located on the edge of the village away from its centre.<ref name=history>{{cite web |title=Dějiny obce|url=https://www.sloupnice.cz/dejiny|publisher=Obec Sloupnice|language=cs|access-date=2021-10-18}}</ref>


==Geography==
== Administrative division and local names ==
Sloupnice is located about {{convert|20|km}} north of [[Svitavy]] and {{convert|38|km|abbr=on}} southeast of [[Pardubice]]. It lies in the [[Svitavy Uplands]]. The highest point is the hill Řetová at {{convert|557|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level.


Dolní Sloupnice and Horní Sloupnice form a [[linear settlement|linear village]] around the stream Sloupnický potok, along the east-west road connecting the towns [[Ústí nad Orlicí]] and [[Vysoké Mýto]].
For the purpose of the law ([[land register]], [[election]], etc.) the village is divided in following parts:
* '''Dolní Sloupnice''' (Lower Sloupnice), with the hamlet of Džbánovec
* '''Horní Sloupnice''' (Upper Sloupnice)
* '''Končiny 1st part''' (Parts)
* '''Končiny 2nd part''' (Parts)


==History==
Some parts of central village (i.e. Dolní Sloupnice and Horní Sloupnice) have their folk names. These names are used at village council meeting as well.
Sloupnice was founded during the colonization of this area in the second half of the 13th century. The first written mention of Sloupnice is from 1292, when it was donated to [[Zbraslav Monastery]] by King [[Wenceslaus II of Bohemia|Wenceslaus II]]. However, the donation was probably cancelled and in the early 14th century, Vítek of Švábenice was documented as the owner.<ref name=history/>
* '''Vesnička''' (''Small Village'') - group of houses in the north-east part of the village with the highest altitude, part of Horní Sloupnice
* '''Rafanda''' (untranslatable) - single-family house group located in the middle of Horní Sloupnice, pretty new part of the village
* '''humna''' (''pl.'',untranslatable) - general term for east-west village zones situated close to surrounding fields (i.e. houses that are not situated along the major road or along the local brook Bílá Labuť)


Since 1572, the large village was divided into two village parts (Horní –"Upper" and Dolní – "Lower") for administrative purposes. In 1924, the two parts became two separate municipalities and in 1976, they were merged again.<ref name=history/>
== Name ==


From 1 January 2007, Sloupnice is no longer a part of [[Ústí nad Orlicí District]] and belongs to Svitavy District.<ref>{{cite web |title=Změny hranic okresů k 1. 1. 2007|url=https://csu.gov.cz/stc/zmeny_hranic_okresu_k_1_1_2007|publisher=[[Czech Statistical Office]]|language=cs|access-date=2024-07-01}}</ref>
The word '''Sloupnice''' cannot be directly translated into English. It probably originates from the word ''slup'' that was a cage used in fishery. On historical maps the village can be found as '''Sloupnitz''' with parts '''Ober Slupnitz''' (Upper Sloupnitz) and '''Unter Sloupnitz''' (Lower Sloupnitz). The name of '''Džbánovec''' is diminutive name derived from geographical name '''Džbánov''' ([[Džbánov (Voděrady)|Džbánov]] is neighbour village to Sloupnice). The name of '''Džbánov''' was probably derived from the Old Czech name '''Čbán'''.<ref>[http://www.orlicko-trebovsko.cz/clanek-o-obci.asp?id=190 Sloupnice's name origin], website of the microregion [http://www.orlicko-trebovsko.cz Orlicko-Třebovsko], 7 August 2007 (Czech)</ref>
