webpage. Flag adopted 27 Jan 1997. Number of inhabitants by 1 Jan 2002:
7469. The town was founded in the 13th century in a place where a Slavonic
settlement named Vyhranov had been placed before. In the 14th century this
was an important village. Soon, it became a market town. In the 18th century
silver and lead were mined there. During Hussite wars the town was an importing
supporting point of the Hussites. As early as in 1774 a wool processing
plant was opened in the town. In the middle of the 19th century drapery
flourished. The church in the town was originally Gothic. Later, it was
re-built in the Baroque style (1691 - 1692). The inside of the church is
decorated by paintings by Günther and Lux, painters from Opava. Not long
ago, the chateau in the village was demolished after fire. In the park
there are scarce woody species. In 1695, 1707 and 1720 major peasant uprising
started in the Manor of Odry. The uprising affected several villages. The
building of the former canteen, so-called Herberk, is connected with the
story "In the canteen" by J.Hašek. In the surroundings of the town storks,
Ciconia nigra, can be found. The town's name is derived from the river
Odra.
