Geography


Frýdlant nad Ostravicí is located in the Moravian-Silesian Foothills, the southern part of the municipal territory extends into the Moravian-Silesian Beskids. The town lies on the Ostravice River, at its confluence with Čeladenka Stream. The left bank with Frýdlant lies in the historical land of Moravia, the right bank with the villages of Lubno and Nová Ves lies in Czech Silesia.


History


The first written mention of Frýdlant is from 1395. The town was founded in the second half of 14th century during German Ostsiedlung. It was established as a market town that was supposed to be the local centre of trade and handicrafts. In 1402, Frýdlant was sold by lords of Kravaře to Przemyslaus I Noszak, Duke of Cieszyn and joined to Duchy of Teschen. Frýdlant found itself on the periphery, lost its position and became a mere village. The economy was also hit by the Hussite Wars.[2]

In the 16th century, Frýdlant was sold to the Olomouc Bishopric and became part of the Hukvaldy estate. It was the impetus for the re-development of crafts. In 1625, the village received various privileges from the bishop Franz von Dietrichstein. During the Thirty Years' War, Frýdlant suffered from frequent army crossings.[2]

Between 1646 and 1648, the first hammer mills were built and Frýdland gradually became a centre of ironworks. The village later known as Nová Ves was founded near the hammer mills in 1647. In 1675, blast furnaces were built. Thanks to the development of the ironworks and the prosperous paper mill, the village was promoted by Maria Theresa to the market town again in 1775.[2]

In 1871 the railroad was built. Large fires in 1886 and 1890 damaged the market town severely. In 1948, Frýdland was promoted to a town.[2]
