The village lies in the valley of the Vidnavka ( Setzdorfer water ), which flow in the place of the Vápenský potok ( willow brook ) and the Ztracený potok ( lost water ) . The Žulový vrch (718 m) rises to the south-east and the Kopřivník (924 m) to the south-west. The Jeskyně Na Pomezí (Cave at Gemärke) is located in the southeast of the municipality on the pass of the same name .

Neighboring towns are Žulová in the north, Černá Voda in the north-east, Lázně Jeseník in the south-east, Lipová-lázně in the south, Polka in the south-west, Nýznerov in the west and Skorošice in the north-west.

history

The first written mention of the place took place in the year 1358. After that the village went back into existence and in 1418 it was described as desolate in a property register of the diocese of Breslau . In 1576 the bishopric began resettling. The first lime kilns were built at the beginning of the 17th century, and at that time the residents lived mainly from logging. Setzdorf was destroyed during the Thirty Years War and rebuilt after a short time. In the period between 1771 and 1780 several, mostly small settlements were founded in the vicinity. These included Polke , Niesnersberg , Grünberg (Zelená Hora), willow swamps (Vrbiska) and Muhrhau (Muhrova Paseka). In 1775 the Bailiwick of Setzdorf was raised to a manor. In 1780 the church with rectory was built, which was elevated to a parish church in 1845.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Setzdorf received an economic boom through the lime kiln. Instead of the old field ovens, modern lime kilns were built. In 1836 there were 17 lime kilns in the village. In 1839 Anton Cajetan Latzel acquired the manor. In addition to the lime kiln, granite and marble were also mined , and graphite at Niesnersberg . Between 1845 and 1849, bad harvests led to famine. After patrimonial was replaced in 1850, Setzdorf became part of the Freiwaldau district and the Weidenau judicial district. At that time, Setzdorf was the most economically important municipality in the district. In 1868 the lime works of the member of the state parliament, Adolf Latzel , came into being, which in the same year put the first three ring kilns into operation. The A. Rösner lime works was founded in 1870 and that of S. Neugebauer one year later.

After the First World War, the limestone works and quarries began to decline, which led to high unemployment, especially during the Great Depression. Until the 1930s, Setzdorf became the center of the communist movement in the Freiwaldau district. During the Freiwaldauer strike, several residents of the village were shot by the gendarmerie on November 25, 1931 at the crossing in Niederlindewiese. The bloody suppression of the strike led to the upswing of the Sudeten German Party , behind which the communists were only the second strongest force in the area. In 1936 the karst cave at Gemärke was discovered. According to the Munich Agreement , Setzdorf was incorporated into the German Reich and belonged to the Freiwaldau district from 1939 to 1945 . After the end of the war, the German population was expelled. In 1949 Zighartice was renamed Vápenná. The cave at Gemärke was opened to the public as a show cave on May 16, 1950. The last quarry in the village, Vycpálkův, was closed in 1969. Lime was still burned in the village until the 1970s. In 1979 the last ring kiln was demolished. The Teramo stonemasonry, which maintains a marble quarry on Smrčník near Lipová-lázně, was preserved.
