VrbÃÂtice () is a village and municipal part of Vlachovice in ZlÃÂn District in the ZlÃÂn Region of the Czech Republic. It is located in the valley of the river Vlára.
The first written mention of VrbÃÂtice dates back to 1318. Although VrbÃÂtice is in the immediate vicinity of Vlachovice, the village has always belonged to the Hoà ¡à ¥Ã¡lková rule and was at no time subject to Vlachovice. Serf conditions in VrbÃÂtice were very mild. With the exception of forest work, its residents were exempt from forced labour. In the 1620 land register, a hereditary bailiff is documented for the first time in VrbÃÂtice.
In 1850, after the abolition of patrimonial, VrbÃÂtice formed a municipality in the district administration Uherský Brod and the judicial district Valaà ¡ské Klobouky. The first school was built here in 1882.
In 2014, a series of explosions occurred in a military warehouse in VrbÃÂtice. Presumably, the explosion was caused by the Russian GRU agents.
The main landmark and the only protected cultural monument is a timbered wooden bell tower from the 19th century. It is located in the centre of the village.
