History

The first written mention of Suchdol is from 1257. The village was founded by Slavic settlers in the early 13th century. The population of German nationality gradually prevailed.[2]

In the 18th century, 280 inhabitants left for Herrnhut, where they restored the Moravian Church and established mission settlements around the world.[3]

Until 1918, Suchdol was a part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Neutitschein (Nový Jičín) District, one of the 34 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Moravia.[4]
