Detailed information (adapted from the source "Vlastivěda Lanškrounska"): The municipality of Luková is spread along the brook Lukovský potok, 4 km in south of the town Lanškrouna. There were two independent villages originally – the village of Luková and the village of Květná that was administratively integrated into the former one. The first reference to the village Luková (Lukow) may be found in the deed of the king Václav II (dated back to 1304) that confirms the donation of the Lanškroun region to the Zbraslav monastery. The deed confirming foundation of the Litomyšl bishopric and forming its deanery (1349) mentions the parish village of Luková. In 1358 the Zbraslav monastery exchanged the Lanškroun and Lanšperk regions for the properties owned by the Litomyšl bishop and situated near to Prague. The village of Luková became a part of the bishopric property. The oldest history of the village Květná, situated 3 km in south direction, was different. The original name of the village of Kozínoha (Goatleg) was changed after World War II. The first reference to the village dates back to 1304 (in the donation deed that also refers to the village of Luková) having then the name Cigenfus (Goatleg in German). However, the history of the village is more connected to the neighbouring village of Trpík. During the reign of the king Jan Lucemburský – who occupied the property of the Zbraslav monastery in the Eastern Bohemia several times (between 1335 and 1336 it was the last time) – separated the villages Květná and Trpík (from other villages in Lanškroun region belonging to Cistercian monks of the Zbraslav monastery) and pledged them in favour of Otto z Tannenfeldu. The Zbraslav monastery won them back in 1350 – the king Karel IV (Charles IV) ordered their restitution to Cistercian monks. The agreement concluded several years later by which the property of Zbraslav monastery was exchanged for the property of the Litomyšl bishopric did not include the village of Květná. The Zbraslav monastery sold the village (and several other villages) to local squires. In 1372 the owner of the village of Květná was Jindřich z Brandýsa, having its seat in Libchava. He sold villages of Květná and Trpík, including ponds, to the Augustinian monastery (founded in 1371 in the town of Lanškroun) in 1402. The monks kept the village of Květná until the Hussite wars. In 1421 the Augustinian monks fled from the imminent danger to the city of Olomouc where they stayed permanently. Although they claimed restitution of their properties around the town of Lanškroun, these efforts went in vain. The legal claims of Augustinian monks, including among others the village of Květná were expressly confirmed by the privilege deed issued by the king Jiří z Poděbrad in 1460, the former property of bishopric, including monastery villages, remained in hands of aristocracy. Since mid-15th century, the owner was Zdeněk Kostka z Postupic who integrated the village of Květná in the Lanškroun domain which determined its further history. At the end of the 16th century, the Lanškroun and Lanšperk domain were owned by Adam Hrzán z Harasova, a fierce and mean aristocrat, who founded many ponds in the Lanškroun region. At those times the pond-fish culture was the most profitable business. However, he did not take his serfs in consideration: in order to build the Luková pond (finished in 1602) the grounds and houses of more than three thirds of inhabitants had to be submerged. Naturally this provoked strong resistance of the local inhabitants. In 1603 a special committee – sent by the emperor to decide the dispute – was convoked in the town of Lanškroun. However, the dispute was not settled. The aristocrat refused to compensate damages in full and serfs refused to work on his properties and pay contributions. The lengthy negotiations in following years brought no result and villagers lost their patience. During one night in 1612 inhabitants of the village of Luková cut out the dam, drained the pond and caught the fish that were in pond. In addition to that they plundered the mill built bellow the sluice (and owned by the aristocrat). After the Bílá hora (White Mountain) battle, the domain was bought by the vice regent Karel z Lichtenštejna and the Luková pond was re-established. However, it was smaller and Karel z Lichtenštejna compensated damages caused to the serfs. After 1622 a farmyard and a sheepfold were founded by the manor in the village of Luková. The sheepfold could keep up to four thousands sheep. The serfs from villages of Květná, Trpík and Anenská Studánka had to labour there. The Luková pond disappeared in 1700 – the dam cracked and it was not repaired. The farmyard owned by the manor was partitioned (during the land reform in 1926) and assigned to several Czech families. A year later these families managed to have a minority school established in the building of the former farmyard. In 1930’s the Czech population reached a hundred persons (i.e. more than a tenth of the total population). Despite of the Czech name, the majority of the population of the village of Luková remained German until the end of the World War II. After the post-war expulsion of Germans, the village was repopulated by the persons coming from the upcountry. An important year in the modern history of the village is 1950 – a united agricultural co-operative was founded (within the socialisation of agriculture programme). Thee years later, the economic results were so poor that several members left the co-operative. In mid-1950’s, the management was consolidated. The local co-operatives integrated into a single one having its seat in the village of Žichlínek twenty years later. In 1961 a cultural centre was opened. Since 1983 the water supply system has been functioning (its construction continued until late 1980’s). The milestone in the modern history is the inauguration of the train stop Luková u Rudoltic in 1993. The track that was built between 1842 and 1845 crossed the northern part of the village; the nearest train stop was in the village of Rudoltice. In 1997 the village was struck by floods. The school in the village of Luková has always been closely connected to the school in near village of Damníkov. Until 1870 when it became independent, the school was a parish one-class school adjacent to the school in the village of Damníkov. Today, there is a four-grade grammar school, the older pupils commute to the school in Damníkov. In the village of Luková there is also a nursery school (founded in 1950). The village of Luková also belonged to the Damníkov parish district. After the Bílá hora (White Mountain) battle, the non-Catholic churchmen were forced to leave the domain and the parish in the village of Luková was abandoned. Until 1677 the village was administrated from the town of Lanškroun. Between 1677 and 1784 the local St. Margaret’s Church was adjacent to the church in the village of Damníkov. During the reign of the emperor Joseph II the rectory was restored. The former wooden church, mentioned in 1677, had on its inner walls paintings featuring village life and labours. This church was pulled down and the current church was built in 1885. The chapel of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethen was built in 1951. However, it is not used for this purpose anymore. The list of sacred monuments in the village includes the statue of the St. John of Nepomuk (1810) and the sculpture of Holy Trinity (two years younger). Several farm-houses (mostly from the late 19th century) are included among historically valuable buildings. In the village of Květná there is the St. Lawrence Chapel (1863) and the nearby standing Baroque cross with a relief of Holy Virgin in Sorrows (1771). In the village there are several small businesses – two food shops (Konzum and Hamko), health nutrition supplement shop (Oáza) and bakery. In the village of Luková there is also bakery (employing around 20 persons), a restaurant, a hairdresser’s and masseur-healer (Mr. Krsek).
