Geography[edit]

History[edit]

The first written mention of Dolní Studénky is from 1353, when it was owned by Jan of Kravaře. The history of the village is connected with the village of Třemešek (today a small hamlet within Králec) where the seat of the nobility was located. From 1437 to 1509, it was owned by the Tunkl of Brníčko family, who founded a system of ponds here. Another notable owners were the Zierotin family, who held it in 1527–1559 and then again in 1653–1771. In 1559–1653, the estate was owned by the Bukůvka family, who had a Renaissance castle built in Třemešek.[2]

The German name of the village Schönbrunn was first documented in 1718. After the World War II, the German population was expelled.[2]
