Geography

Lučina lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, in the Moravian-Silesian Foothills. The village is located on the western shore of Žermanice Dam, which is entirely located in the municipal territory of Lučina.

History

The construction of Žermanice Dam on the Lučina River necessitated resettlement of the population of the villages of Dolní Domaslavice and Soběšovice, which were going to be partly flooded. Therefore, a new village was founded on the western bank of the nascent reservoir to accommodate resettled population, encompassing former western territories of the aforementioned municipalities. The Lučina municipality was officially established on 8 January 1956.[2]
