History & geography

History

The village could have been founded by Benedictine monks from the Orlová monastery and was first mentioned in 1450 as Zilmanicze. In 1461, it was owned by Jan Hunt of Kornice, the owner of neighbouring Horní Bludovice. In 1483, the village was inherited by his two sons. Before the end of the 15th century, it was bought by Jan Trnka of Racibórz, a tenant of Frýdek, who then bestowed the village upon the town. Hence, as a property of Frýdek, it was as a special case a part of the Frýdek state country that was split from the Duchy of Teschen in 1573, which was a part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, since 1526 a part of the Habsburg monarchy. After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary, it became a part of Czechoslovakia.
