History & geography

History

Václavovice was founded during the colonisation of Cieszyn Silesia in the late the 13th century. The first written mention is from 1302 under its Latin name Wenceslaowitz. Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290 in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.

Geography

Václavovice is located about southeast of Ostrava, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. It is urbanistically fused with the town of Vratimov. It lies in the Ostrava Basin.
