The story
The first written mention of Napajedla is from 1355. In the 14th century, the settlement became a market town. For a long time, it was owned by the Zierotin family. The next important owner was the Rottal family. During their rule, the estate grew significantly and they had built the Church of Saint Bartholomew.
The Napajedla estate achieved its greatest fame under the Lords of Stockau. The sulfur spa with a healing mineral water was established and Napajedla became a much-visited town. The existence of the mineral springs was first mentioned in documents from the 16th century. The springs were severely damaged when the railway was built in the mid-19th century, and only one spring persisted. The spa was closed in the mid-20th century.
Napajedla was promoted to a town in 1898.
