Kaple ve Fryštátě (1000131338) Chapel
The chapel in Fryštát is a sacral monument in the historical centre of Karviné, specifically in part Fryštát. The building belongs to the town monument zone, which recalls the importance of this place as the former residence of the Silesian Piastovce.
There is little information about the exact creation and oldest history of the chapel itself. However, the building is located in a location with a very rich history. Fryštát belongs to the oldest cities of Czech Silesia; his predecessor was founded on the shore of Olš after 906. The new town was founded in 1290 by Prince Měšek I., who established his second residence here.
The historical centre where the chapel is located has been an important centre of Teschen Silesia for centuries. The name of the city comes from Freistadt, Germany, which means a free city. Thanks to the position on the important trade path from Uher to Silesia Fryštát experienced its golden age in the 15th and 16th centuries.
In this area were the most important Silesian aristocratic families, especially Piastovci, who built the Gothic chateau. Later, in 1792, the city became owned by Count John Joseph of the House of Larisch. During the 20th century Fryštát has undergone significant administrative changes. These included a merger with the mining town Karvinná and short-term cancellation of the name Fryštát from 1949 to 1971.
Today, the chapel is part of the historical core of Karviné, defined as a historical and spa zone. Together with the surrounding chateau and the chateaux, they form a unique complex that shows the region's past glory.
This monument is a silent witness to the transformation of one of the oldest cities in the area. It is a valuable addition to the historical walk through the centre of Karviné, which we recommend to take.
