Stará Ves nad Ondřejnicí is located about 7km (04miles) south of Ostrava. It lies on the border between the Moravian Gate and Moravian-Silesian Foothills.

Another notable river is the Lubina, which also joins the Oder in the municipal territory. The northern part of the municipality lies within the Poodří Protected Landscape Area.
The first written mention of Stará Ves is in the will of bishop Bruno von Schauenburg from 1267. The most important noble owners of the village were the Syrakovský of Pěrkov family. In the 16th century, they had built here a castle and a church. The development of the village ended with the Thirty Years' War. The Swedish army looted Stará Ves in 1643. During the war, the Prusinovský family acquired the village and owned it for almost 300 years.[2]
