The village of Kletné is an administrative part of Suchdol nad Odrou.
Odry is located about 9 kilometres (6 mi) northwest of Nový Jičín and 27 km (17 mi) southwest of Ostrava. It lies mostly in the Moravian Gate, but the municipal territory also extends into the Nízký Jeseník range in the north. The highest point is at 429 m (1,407 ft) above sea level. The Oder River forms the southern municipal border. The surrounding of the Oder belongs to the Poodří Protected Landscape Area.
The first written mention of Suchdol is from 1257. The village was founded by Slavic settlers in the early 13th century. The population of German nationality gradually prevailed.[2]
In the 18th century, 280 inhabitants left for Herrnhut, where they restored the Moravian Church and established mission settlements around the world.[3]
The D1 motorway (section from Přerov to Ostrava) passes through the municipal territory.
The most important monument is the Church of the Holy Trinity. It was built in the late Renaissance style in 1605–1614.[6]
The Protestant church was built in the Neo-Romanesque style in 1852–1858.[7]
