Metylovice is located about 7 kilometres (4 mi) south of Frýdek-Místek and 21 km (13 mi) south of Ostrava. It lies in the Moravian-Silesian Foothills. The highest point is the Ondřejník mountain at 890 m (2,920 ft) above sea level. The Olešná Stream flows through the municipality.

History

The first written mention of Metylovice is in a deed of Bishop Dětřich from 1299. From the second half of the 17th century, tanning developed in the village, thanks to which the originally agricultural village began to prosper and grow. Brick houses began to replace the original wooden ones and the education and cultural life of the inhabitants increased.[2]
