History
The first written mention of Pazderna is from 1573, when it was part of the Frýdek state country and had 14 homesteads. It was probably founded only a few years ago.[2] It was then mentioned as Pazdierna in the document sealing the selling of Frýdek by Stanislav II Pavlovský, Bishop of Olomouc, to Bartholomew von Wrbno.[3]
After World War I and fall of Austria-Hungary it became a part of Czechoslovakia. In March 1939 it became a part of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After World War II it was restored to Czechoslovakia.
