Ropice
Résumé
(, Roppitz) is a municipality and village in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,700 inhabitants. The municipality has a significant Polish minority.
The name is of topographic origins derived from petroleum (ropa in Czech and Polish).
Ropice is located about east of Frýdek-Místek and southeast of Ostrava, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. It lies in the Moravian-Silesian Foothills. The highest point is the hill Štěpnice at above sea level. The Ropičanka Stream flows through the municipality. The Olza River forms the northeastern municipal border.
The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia. Ropice was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as Ropiza. Politically Ropice belonged to the Duchy of Teschen (1297 described bilaterally as part of Poland), since 1327 within the Kingdom of Bohemia.
The village became a seat of a Catholic parish, mentioned in the register of Peter's Pence payment from 1447 among 50 parishes of Teschen deanery as Ropicza. After the 1540s Protestant Reformation prevailed in the Duchy of Teschen and a local Catholic church was taken over by Lutherans. It was taken from them (as one from around fifty buildings in the region) by a special commission and given back to the Roman Catholic Church on 26 March 1654.
In the early 15th century, a fortress was built in Ropice. The first known owners of Ropice were the Sobek family in 1430. The family owned the village until 1693. Around 1700, Ropice was acquired by Filip Saint Genois. He had rebuilt the fortress into a Baroque castle in the early 18th century. In 1785 the Saint Genois family sold Ropice to the Celesta family, who had made Neoclassical renovation of the castle in 1810.
After Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia.
