History

The first written mention of Zighartice is from 1358. The village was abandoned in around 1420, but was resettled in 1576.[2]

During the World War II, the German occupiers operated four forced labour subcamps of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp at the local quarries.[3]

In 1949, the municipality was renamed Vápenná.[2]
