HistoryThe first written mention of Pavlov is from 1519, when there was a farm owned by the Saint Vitus Chapter in Hostouň. In 1726, the then-owner Ferdinand Kustod of Zubří and Lipka administratively connected 10 houses and a brewery from the surrounding settlements to the farm and created the Nový Dvůr manor.[2] After the manor changed hands several times, it was bought by Leopold Paul in 1799. He had built a manor house and a settlement next to the farm, and named it after himself Pavlov (Paulow in German).[2] Demographics
