Hukvaldy Castle

The Hukvaldy Castle was founded in the 1270s or 1280s by the Hückeswagen family and was first mentioned in 1285.[3] It was a guard castle on the trade route from Olomouc to Kraków. The settlement of Hukvaldy was soon established nearby. The settlement of Sklenov was established under the castle and was first documented in 1294.[4]

Between 1294 and 1307, the Hukvaldy estate was acquired by the bishops of Olomouc, who often pledged it to various noblemen. In the following centuries, the castle was expanded into a massive fortress. In 1762, the castle was destroyed by a fire.[5] [4] In the following decades, the castle was dismantled as a source of building material. Repairs began in the 1960s.[4]

The municipality was known as Sklenov until 1982. Since 1 July 1982, it has been named Hukvaldy.[4]
