History
The first written mention of Hlinka is from 1267. It was an agricultural village that was part of the Osoblaha estate owned by the bishops of Olomouc. In the 16th century, it was acquired by Lords of Vrbno, who sold it to the Sedlnický of Choltice family at the end of the 16th century. After the properties of the family were confiscated in 1622 for their participation in the Bohemian Revolt, it was joined to the Dívčí Hrad estate and shared its owners and destinies.
