However, it must have been founded before that year, probably in the second half of 13^th century.

Tip:

Village centre with the Church of All Saints and Lašská jizba museum

Wooden church of All Saints dates back to 1638 and it is one of the most successful and best preserved constructions of its type in Pobeskydí. Around it there is a set of cast-iron crosses and also crosses from other cemeteries that ceased to exist. The group represents with its extent a kind of small open-air museum of funeral artefacts. Behind the premises of the church there are two baroque statues of Mrs. Marie Frýdecká and St. John Nepomucký.

The idea of ?Lašská jizba?, which has its exposition in the building beside the church was born in the head of Josef Vochala, when he started to collect various etnographic historical objects and started to store them in a special room in its farmhouse. The tradition of storing of documents of life of former generations is alive in Sedliště until today. The new installation consists not only of objects of everyday need like furniture, household equipment, fabrics and the like, but also craft and farm tooling from the gifts of citizens.
