The village is located at the northern end of Haná in the foothills of Hrubý Jeseník in the Protected Landscape Area Litovelské Pomoraví at an altitude of about 310 meters, more precisely 5 km east of Mohelnice, 15 km southeast of Zábřeh, 25 km south of Šumperk and 29 km northwest of Olomouc. The surrounding area is hilly with forest groves, where it is well-mushrooming and rich in forest animals. The nearby Mohelnice lakes encourage fishing. It is interwoven with walking trails along which you can reach the ponds, to Doubrava (forest Doubrava), where the wells are repaired, in the woods of the gamekeeper's lodge, fortified settlement, or to the burial mound. You can also take a trip to the nearby chateau Úsov, where you can see a hunting museum. You can get to Zábřeh or on the other side to Olomouc on a cycling path that leads along forest paths.
In the place where there used to be a Slavic fortified settlement with ramparts from the early fortified period and where cairns of Lusatian culture from the Bronze Age were found, the village of Stavenice was founded in the prehistoric period. In the fields on the way from Mohelnice to Úsov, there has always been a purely Czech village, which was a bridge between the Czech population in the south and the Czech villages in the Zábřeh and Šumperk regions. Perhaps the name of the village comes from its own Slavic name Staven. In a plain near the Morava River, at an altitude of 250 m, with a cadastre of around 700 hectares, there are about 150 inhabitants living in forty houses. Their livelihood has always been agriculture, care for ponds, fishing in Moravia, meadows and logging in nearby Doubrava. The first written record of the village dates back to 1273, when it belonged to the Episcopal Mohelnice. Later it belonged to the Ústí estate until the turn of the year 1848. Its position, however, was somewhat special, because according to the decision of 1519 the village belonged to the Ústí hospital. Stavenice was therefore a source of funding for the support, operation and maintenance of medieval sanitary facilities. It was said by the official Czech language at the time: Jan of Vlašim, the undergraduate of the Moravian Margraviate, put Stavenica at the hospital to improve the trade and needs of the poor. The lieutenant and executor of this decision was the Újov reeve and his lords of the councilors. Interestingly, it was already economically meant by the Estates of that time, and they refused to pay further taxes to the nobility on the grounds that they were actually officially serving good-natured activities. JZD was founded in Stavenice relatively late - only in 1957 and after three years merged with the agricultural complex Úsovsko. This small village has had a one-class elementary school since 1911. However, it was closed with the pub at the beginning of the 1990s and its beautiful facade was destroyed by insensitive and unprofessional intervention. The building is surrounded by attractive scenery. The Morava River flows through Lukami, there is the Doubrava forest in the village cadastre and the Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area.
