Řepiště (Polish: Rzepiszcze) is a municipality and village in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,900 inhabitants. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.

History

Řepiště was probably founded around 1270 under the name Barutov.^[2]The first written mention is from 1450.^[3] Politically it belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen, since 1327 a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Řepiště became a seat of a Catholic parish in the second half of 15th century. After 1540s Protestant Reformation prevailed in the Duchy of Teschen and a local Catholic church was taken over by Lutherans. It was taken from them (as one from around fifty buildings in the region) by a special commission and given back to the Roman Catholic Church on 26 March 1654.^[4] The parish is now served by a wooden church of Saint Archangel Michael, an important landmark in the municipality.
