'''Hukvaldy''' ({{langx|de|Hochwald}}) is a municipality and village in [[Frýdek-Místek District]] in the [[Moravian-Silesian Region]] of the [[Czech Republic]]. It has about 2,200 inhabitants. It is known for the ruins of the third-largest castle in the Czech Republic, Hukvaldy Castle, and is the birthplace of the composer [[Leoš Janáček]].


==Administrative parts==
'''Hukvaldy''' ({{lang-de|Hochwald}}) is a village in the [[Czech Republic]], in the [[Moravian-Silesian Region]]. Population: 1,900. It lies 150m below the ruins of the third largest castle in the Czech Republic, '''Hukvaldy Castle''' ([http://www.zamky-hrady.cz/2/hukvaldy-e.htm Hrad Hukvaldy]), and is the birthplace of the composer [[Leoš Janáček]] and palaeontologist [[Ferdinand Stoliczka]].
The villages of Dolní Sklenov, Horní Sklenov, Krnalovice and Rychaltice are administrative parts of Hukvaldy.


==Etymology==
The castle has been rebuilt at least five times over the last 700 years, evolving from a small early gothic castle to a baroque fortress. It was first built in 1260-1270 by Mr. Frank from Příbor. He was the son of the colonizer Arnold from the Huckeswagen family. The castle has never been conquered, probably because of the location and the massive fortress. The oldest part is an oval with many walls and a tall slim tower in the front. Above the ditch and entrance to the castle there is a dwelling building on the other side of the structure. After 1469 the castle was completely rebuilt Bishop Tas from Boskovice. In the 20th century the castle was abandoned and it fell into ruins. In 1762 there was a big fire in the castle and it was completely destroyed. Many repairs were made, but the castle is still undergoing restoration. The best preserved structure is St. Andrew´s chapel, where many concerts take place, enhanced by the excellent acoustics. Weddings also take place in the chapel. The castle is administered by Fond Janáčkovy Hukvaldy and is open from April until October. Nearby is a park where we can see [[mouflons]], and there is also an amphitheatre.
The name is derived from the Hückeswagen family, who were the first owners of Hukvaldy.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hukvaldy castle|url=https://www.hradhukvaldy.eu/hrad-hukvaldy/hukvaldy-castle/|publisher=Hukvaldy Castle|access-date=2022-02-22}}</ref>
