Mokré Lazce (German: Mokrolasetz) is a municipality and village in Opava District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,200 inhabitants.
Mokré Lazce is located about 9km (06miles) east of Opava and 15km (09miles) northwest of Ostrava. The northern part of the municipality lies in the Opava Hilly Land and the southern part lies in the Nízký Jeseník range. The highest point is at 420m (1,380feet) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Opava River, which forms the northern municipal border.
The first written mention of Mokré Lazce is from 1377. The village was repeatedly sacked during the Thirty Years' War, almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1667 and plundered by Prussian and Austrian soldiers during the wars of the 18th century, but each time it recovered.[2]
The I/11 road from Ostrava to Opava passes through the municipality.
The main landmark is the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It was built in the Renaissance style probably in 1576 and was further modified in the 19th century.[3]
The Chapel of Saint Anne is a small Baroque building. It dates from 1747.[4]
