The village lies 8 km from the district town of Opava in a nice, slightly undulating terrain. The first written mention of the village dates back to 1220, when the Velehrad Monastery and the Cistercian Order owned - in addition to Stěbořice - a lot in Silesia
other municipalities. This usual colonization carried out the order in this wooded area to the river Moravice, Hlučínsko and Ke
Svinovu.
The headquarters of the administrative center - the goods of the Stronghold - was a monk of the Velehrad Monastery, a chiefmaster, or a magister curie.
Over time, the village grew, trade and crafts flourished. The owners of the estate also changed, from which the family stands out
