The first mention about the village dates to 1322. Its location on “Amber Road” increased its strategic significance. Gradual building of the fortress and the castle can be taken as the evidence of it. Raduň lies in the mouth of Raduň valley on the banks of Raduňka stream. It is not difficult to get there from Opava and so the village is a starting point for longer or shorter tourist trips. Tourists can enjoy wandering in the park, that resides on the south part of the village. Park offers a lot of ingeniously designed walking paths, romantic secludedspots and composed vistas. Visitors can also admire marvelous views of the countryside and – if the visibility is good, also of the Jeseníky mountains and their highest peak Praděd from places situated higher. A system of ponds can be seen to the north of the village. An old oak, about four hundred years of age, with circumference of six metres, probably the oldest tree in Opava region, is growing behind one of the ponds.
Raduň castle
It is the most important cultural monument in the village. Its premises form a complex unique within the region. It can offer an idea of the structure and relations in this specific microworld of a mansion and services and staff in its background. The castle is also used as a venue for social and cultural activities both for the public and for private companies, especially for exhibitions, concerts and theatre workshops.
Castle park
Its construction began in a close proximity of the catle. Former orchads were integrated into the new park. As the time passed, new trees and other kinds of vegetation were introduced into the park. Some of these species were very rare and a lot of them prevailed to this day. The gardens were situated between a newly built orangery and a fig and pineapple greenhouse. The orangery was built in Empire style in 1824. Among other buildings of importance are: a shed for sheep, a block of flats for castle clerks, a granary.
