Pazderna (Polish: Październa) is a municipality and village in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.

Etymology

[edit]

The word pazderna was a designation for the house where flax was drying and shives (in Czech pazdeří) was obtained. The village was probably founded around such a house.[2]

Geography

[edit]

Pazderna is located about 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Frýdek-Místek and 15 km (9 mi) southeast of Ostrava. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, in the western part of the Moravian-Silesian Foothills. The Pazderůvka brook flows through the municipality.

History

[edit]

The first written mention of Pazderna is from 1573, when it was part of the Frýdek state country and had 14 homesteads. It was probably founded only a few years ago.[2] It was then mentioned as Pazdierna in the document sealing the selling of Frýdek by Stanislav II Pavlovský, Bishop of Olomouc, to Bartholomew von Wrbno.[3] After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary, it became a part of Czechoslovakia.
