c. 52, Cholina 783 22
The village of Cholina is situated on the edge of the Haná plain in the foothills of the wooded hill Rampach about 5 km south of the town of Litovel.
Numerous archaeological finds document the ancient settlement of this region.
It is first mentioned in written sources as early as 1141, when a part of it was mentioned
belonged to the Olomouc Chapter. Later, the village found itself in the hands of small and larger feudals. In 1546, Václav Haugvic of Biskupice sold it to the city of Olomouc, which remained its owner
until the abolition of serfdom in 1848.
Since 1850, Cholina was an independent municipality of the political and judicial district of Litovel (since 1960 the district of Olomouc). Since the second half of the 19th century, the village has experienced a long period of economic prosperity and versatile development. A number of economic associations and cooperatives were established here, the inhabitants enjoyed a rich federal, social and cultural life. Cholin peasants significantly contributed to the industrialization and Czechization of the town of Litovel at the end of the 19th century and to the overall economic
enhancement of the Haná countryside. They also greatly contributed to the construction of the local Litovel - Senice na Hané railway, which was put into operation at the very beginning of World War I in 1914.
The development of the village was hampered only by the Great Depression of the 1930s, the following years of German occupation and the post-war reversals of social conditions, which disrupted the continuity of its natural development. Part of the so-called rural socialization in the fifties was the liquidation of private trades and especially collectivization, within which a single agricultural cooperative was established in Choline.
In 1960 the neighboring village Dubčany was connected to the village and in 1980 also Bílsko and Loučka. With social change
After November 1989, the municipal self-government was restored in 1990, the administratively connected municipalities became independent and the village entered the latest stage of its history connected with the transformation of economic, political and social life and the search for the interrupted continuity of its development.
The most valuable monuments of the village include the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, already mentioned in 1326. Since 1637, pilgrimages to the miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary of Cholin were held. Today's appearance of the church is the result of its neo-Gothic reconstruction,
finished in 1867. In the vicinity of the church is a Baroque rectory building from 1733 and a valuable baroque statue of St. In the 15th century there was written Cholinský antifonář, memorial book of the parish was founded in 1716. Interesting village is the Holy Water with a chapel from 1693. About the history of the village and its inhabitants in the past and
