Hynčice was founded along the stream Vraženka (formerly known as Wrasni or Rossbach), which originates near the village of Veselí in Odry. The village's elevation is 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. In the early 16th century, the village was abandoned. It was recolonised later that century. During this time, the village went from being primarily populated by Czechs to being primarily populated by Germans.

Between 1780 and 1788, the first (unofficial) private school was run in Hynčice by Anton Schwirtlich, who was Gregor Mendel's granduncle. Following Schwirtlich's marriage, the school was closed, but a permanent elementary school was constructed in 1796.

By the early 1800s, Hynčice controlled 383 hectares (950 acres) of fields and 89 hectares (220 acres) of meadows. 41 horses and 98 cattle were accounted for in the village. The primary crops grown in the village were rye, wheat, barley, oats, garden peas, and lentils, with potatoes, beets, alfalfa, and clover being newly introduced for crop rotation.

Gregor Mendel was born in Hynčice in 1822 and lived in Farmstead No. 58 for much of his early life. In 1855, the Chapel of the Virgin Mary was built in Hynčice.^[3]
