Sviadnov is a municipality and village in the Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,200 inhabitants.
Geography
Sviadnov is located about 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Ostrava and is urbanistically fused with the city of Frýdek-Místek. It lies in a flat landscape in the southern tip of the Ostrava Basin. The municipality is situated on the left bank of the Ostravice River.
History
The first written mention of Sviadnov is from 1267. The village was founded by Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg shortly before this year. At the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, the village was divided into two parts with different owners, and the northern part then became known as Žabeň. Sviadnov belonged to the Místek estate.
Until the second half of the 19th century, Sviadnov was an agricultural village. In the second half of the 19th century, a mechanical weaving mill was built here for the processing of wool and cotton, and Sviadnov was thus industrialized.
