Sudice is located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) northeast of Opava and 25 km (16 mi) northwest of Ostrava, on the border with Poland. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Opava Hilly Land. The highest point is at 261 m (856 ft) above sea level.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Sudice is from 1327, when it was part of the Duchy of Troppau and Duke Nicholas II sold Sudice to the Dominican monastery seated in nearby Racibórz. In the 14th century, a fortress was built.[2]
In the first half of the 16th century, Sudice was promoted to a market town and divided into two parts. In 1557 Sudice was bought by the Oderský of Lidéřov family and reunited the two parts. The fortress was replaced by a Baroque castle in the second half of the 17th century. However, the Henneberk family, who were the next owners of Sudice, had the castle demolished in 1786.[2]
The I/46 road from the Czech-Polish border to Opava and Olomouc passes through the municipality. There are two road border crossings with Poland: Sudice / Pietraszyn and Sudice / Ściborzyce Wielkie.
