Borders shifted over Hlučín repeatedly. The town and its surrounding Hlučínsko region were part of Prussia from 1742 until 1920, when the Treaty of Versailles transferred them to Czechoslovakia. This Prussian interlude left a cultural mark: the local population maintained distinct customs, dialect, and a Silesian identity that set them apart from neighbouring Moravian communities. German administration during 1938-1945 added another layer to this complex history.
Roughly 14,200 people live in Hlučín, which sits about 10 kilometres northwest of Ostrava. The town centre holds a château converted into a regional museum documenting the Hlučínsko's distinctive past, alongside a church and a compact square.

Hlučín lake, a flooded former gravel pit south of town, functions as a summer recreation area with beach, swimming, and water sports.
