Among plentiful sacral structures Today we will not find the church of All Saints in Konskaya - it remains a legacy linked to precious works of art. The temple served as an important spiritual centre of the parish of Konská, which is now part of industrial Třice.
The church grew from 1792 to 1794 in the place of the older wooden temple. The new stone structure reflected the ambition of local believers to strengthen the spiritual life of the growing parish.
The inner furnishings of the temple represented the quality of contemporary art. The most valuable parts were two paintings of Felix Ivo Leicher - one dedicated to Saint John Nepomuk and the other to the Holy Hedvika. These works were not only a subject of piety for the believers, but also of baroque sacral art.
The fate of the church changed radically in the second half of the 20th century. In 1969 it was demolished for the expansion of the industrial complex, and in its place was created an office building which still belongs to the complex of the Třinecké Ironworks. The demolition of the temple was part of the deeper transformations that the region had undergone - traditional parochial life gave way to modern industrial ambitions.
The chapter of the local funeral tradition was also closed with the church. In 1969, when the church fell, the remains of the Roman Catholic cemetery were moved. A total of 229 deceased citizens and 46 children were transferred to a nearby Evangelical cemetery in Konska.
However, the artistic heritage of the church is preserved. Both Leicher painted paintings were transferred to the parish church of St. Albert in Třinec. In the 1990s (1992- 1993) they were restored and still kept their original quality. Through them, the visitor can remember the spiritual wealth of the lost parish.
For those interested in the industrial history of Třinec and the transformation of the landscape in the second half of the 20th century, the story of the Church of All Saints remains relevant. It is a testament to how modernisation and industrial development have changed the physical and social face of the territory. The works of art that have been preserved remind us that there once was a living parish community.

The Roman Catholic Church of All Saints in Konská no longer stands. Konská is today part of the city of Třince and the church was once one of its most distinctive landmarks. It was built between 1792 and 1794 and replaced an older wooden church that had stood on the same site.
Inside hung two paintings by the painter Felix Ivo Leicher. One depicted Saint John of Nepomuk, the other was titled The Vision of Saint Hedwig. Both paintings were preserved. Today they are in the parish church of Saint Albert in Třince and underwent restoration in 1992 and 1993.
The church was demolished in 1969. An office building grew up in its place, belonging to the Třinecké železárny steelworks complex. In the same year, the Roman Catholic cemetery next to the church was also closed. The remains of 229 deceased citizens and 46 deceased children were transferred from there to the nearby Protestant cemetery in Konská.
For kids
Imagine going back to when the Church of All Saints was still young and full of life. There lived people who were passionate about God and wanted to glorify Him.
How did it look here? The church stood in the middle of the village as if it were the heart of the village. People gathered here at worship and festivities. The church was filled with beautiful paintings and statues that represented various saints. Among them were the paintings of St. Jan Nepomucký and the vision of St. Hedvika, which were so amazing that people stopped them when they looked at them.
