History
The first written mention of Hněvošice is from 1288, when the brothers Trutvín and Vítek were the owners of Hněvošice. They built a courtyard and a fortress. The courtyard was destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 18th century.[3]
From 1742 the village belonged to Prussia after Maria Theresa had been defeated. In 1920, the municipality was annexed to Czechoslovakia and incorporated into the district of Hlučín. In 1928, it was changed to the Opava District.[1]
In the municipality is the road border crossing with Poland Hněvošice / Ściborzyce Wielkie. The I/46 road from Opava to the Czech-Polish border in Sudice passes through Hněvošice.
The most valuable building is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It is the only still standing wooden church in the Hlučín Region and has been protected as a cultural monument. It has preserved original interior. The church was built in the Baroque style in 1730 and restored in 1842. It was funded by Johann Rudolf Žarovský from Žarov.[4][5]
A landmark is the Church of Christ the Good Shepherd. It is a modern church, built in 1996.[6]
