Horní Bludovice (Polish: Błędowice Górne, German: Ober Bludowitz) is a municipality and village in Karviná District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,600 inhabitants.
The village of Prostřední Bludovice is an administrative part of Horní Bludovice.
Horní Bludovice is located about 3km (02miles) west of Karviná and 12km (07miles) east of Ostrava, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. The municipality lies mostly in the Moravian-Silesian Foothills, but Prostřední Bludovice extends into the Ostrava Basin lowland. The highest point is the hill Kohout at 331m (1,086feet) above sea level. The Lučina River flows through the municipality.
The village of Bludovice (which was later known as Dolní Bludovice) was first mentioned in 1335. The division to Horní and Dolní Bludovice (Lower and Upper Bludovice) developed in the 15th century.[2]
Politically the village belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen within the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Horní Bludovice is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from the 18th century.[3] A landmark is the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk.
