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

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

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

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.
