Obecní úřad Moravice.
The first written document from 1283 mentions the first owner of the village, Bishop Jaroslav of Moravice. During his time and his descendants, the village of Moravice expanded considerably, especially during the reign of the most important member of her noble family Budivoj. In 1461, he bought the Vokštejn estate together with the Vikštejn castle from the Prince of Opava Arnošt to the Moravian estate. From that moment on he was called the Lord of Moravice and Vikštejn.
Shortly after, Budivoj fell in disfavour at the Czech King George of Podebrady by refusing to recognize him as Czech King. Therefore, in 1464 he was put into a curse and sentenced to loss of throat and property.
Vikštejn Castle at that time was very strong and hard to conquer, but Budivoj knew that the army of George of Poděbrady will not be able to resist long and thus saved his life by escaping to Poland.
This led to the division of such a short Moravian-Vikštejn estate.
Probably from this period comes the sign of Moravice with a picture of a chisel with a scythe. It is an expression of the agricultural nature of the village and at the same time an expression of the typical occupation of the then Moravian inhabitants.
The founder of a new important noble family in Moravice became Jan Dlouhý of Roudnice, who bought it in 1493 together with the adjacent, now extinct villages called Krahuli and Hidová. Since then, Jan and his descendants have written as Moravic of Roudnice.
Another important milestone is the year 1622, when after the defeat of the Czech estates the owners of the village fled abroad, the village was confiscated and attached to the Opava estate of Charles, Prince of Lichtejnštejn. Christianity is widely spread and the village of Moravice is going through a period of its greatest prosperity. The princes of Lichtejnštejn wished the village, thanks to it a new school was opened in the village already in 1725, where Mr. Šebestová lives today. It served until 1899, when the village built a new school. The Lichtejnštejns helped the village to build a church in 1755, replacing the existing wooden one. In 1777 a parish building was added to the church. At that time the population of Moravice was close to eight hundred.
