Geography


Žermanice is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Frýdek-Místek and 13 kilometres (8 mi) southeast of Ostrava. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, in the western part of the Moravian-Silesian Foothills. The highest point is hill U Třešně, at 345 metres (1,132 ft).

The municipality is situated on the banks of the Lučina River and on the shore of Žermanice Dam, which was built in 1951–1958, but lies just outside the municipal territory.

Žermanický lom Nature Monument is a protected 2 hectares (5 acres) large wetland ecosystem where several species of critically endangered plants grow.[2]


History


The village could have been founded by Benedictine monks from the Orlová monastery and was first mentioned in 1450 as Zilmanicze.[2][3]

In 1461, it was owned by Jan Hunt of Kornice, the owner of neighbouring Horní Bludovice. In 1483, the village was inherited by his two sons. Before the end of the 15th century, it was bought by Jan Trnka of Racibórz, a tenant of Frýdek, who then bestowed the village upon the town.[2] Hence, as a property of Frýdek, it was as a special case a part of the Frýdek state country that was split from the Duchy of Teschen in 1573, which was a part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, since 1526 a part of the Habsburg monarchy. After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary it became a part of Czechoslovakia.


Sights


The Chapel of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary was built in 1843–1848.[2]
