History
The first written mention of Slavkov is from 1224, when King Ottokar I donated the village to the city of Opava. From 1255 until the end of the 15th century, Slavkov was a property of the Fulštejn family. The next owners were the Vlk of Konecchlumí family, which owned the village until 1597. In the next decades, the owners often changed. In 1636–1677, the village was held by the Sedlnický of Choltice family. From 1677, Slavkov was owned by the Podstatský of Prusínovice family.[2]
