Valasske Mezirici lies at the confluence of two rivers - the Roznovska Becva and the Vsetinska Becva. Its location stands for the gate to the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains.
Mezirici was founded on the left bank of the Roznovska Becva. The first record of the town comes from 1297. The village Krasno was settled on the right bank of the river. Krasno became a town in 1491. Although Mezirici and Krasno shared the same authorities for several centuries, they united to the present town of Valasske Mezirici as lately as in 1924.
Kinsky chateau was built on the site of the former administrative building (1854). An extensive park stretches around the chateau, with rare woody plants established at the turn of the 19th century.
