History
Some sources state that the village was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as item in Warmnuthowitz, however it is very unlikely and disputed. Moudreho Lhota mentioned in 1524 still leaves doubts. Surely it was mentioned in 1584 as Hornÿ Lhota in the document sealing the selling of Friedeck state country by Stanislaus Pavlovský von Pavlovitz, Bishop of Olomouc, to Bartholomew von Wrbno. The adjective Hornÿ (lit. Upper, later also Superiori, Ober, Górne, Vyšní) was used to differentiate it from the older sister settlement lying down Morávka river, called Dolny neb Spodny Lhota in the same document from 1584.
The Friedeck state country was split from the Duchy of Teschen in 1573 when the village must have already existed. It was a part of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Habsburg Monarchy. After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary it became a part of Czechoslovakia. In March 1939 it became a part of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After World War II it was restored to Czechoslovakia.
