Frýdlant nad Ostravicí

Frýdlant nad Ostravicí sits on both sides of the Ostravice River, comprising three distinct areas: Frýdlant, Nová Ves, and Lubno at roughly 357 meters above sea level. The town functions as the administrative center for its district and provides services to surrounding communities.

German settlers founded the settlement around 1300, naming it after Heydrich de Vridelanth, and it received municipal privileges in 1782. This early establishment and later official recognition shaped its development as a regional hub.

The Church of Saint Bartholomew with its Baroque design is where locals and visitors encounter the town's religious tradition. The building reflects how the community shaped its central spaces around faith and local identity over centuries.

The town connects to major cities like Ostrava and Frýdek-Místek through regular transportation links, making it accessible to visitors. As an administrative center, it offers practical services rather than extensive tourism infrastructure, so plan accordingly for your visit.

The Ostravice River divides the territory, with the left bank in Moravia and the right bank in Silesia, creating a remarkable geographic split. Visitors can walk between these two historical regions simply by crossing the river.
