Římskokatolická fara Parish house

Římskokatolická fara on the street Brewery No. 2 / 1 in Fryštát (Karviná district) is a classical and Art Nouveau building from 1782-1784. Its history dates back to the 18th century, when the original wooden object destroyed a big fire in 1781. This event led to the construction of a new building, which was declared a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 2004. The construction is valued for its architectural importance and elements reflecting the then building arts.

The formation of the rectory was a direct result of a fire in 1781. After the destruction of the wooden building, the new rectory was built between 1782 and 1784. This was in line with the practice at the time when key public buildings were restored as quickly as possible after disasters. In 1830, the rectory underwent repair and new roofing. At that time, elements of the Art Nouveau began to penetrate her appearance, which later influenced the facade.

Architecturally, it's a storey walled structure with a valb roof. The nine-axis facade is decorated with a central three-axis risalite with a low athyroid attachment, which is a typical element of classicism. The windows on the ground floor and on the floor are oblong with profile shamrans, while the rizality is dominated by semi-circular arches. On the first axis of the ground floor, the sculpture of the Virgin Mary with a child on a volute console gives the building a religious character.

The interior of the rectory offers various details. On the ground floor there is an office with a pink-brown bar and dining room with beige heating decorated with embossed geometric tape. The kitchen has an original tile furnace, while on the floor there are brown and grey-green tile stove with Art Nouveau flower decor. These supplements reflect the aesthetic trends of their time and demonstrate the richness of interior design.

The declaration of the rectory in Fryštát for the cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 2004 confirmed its historical and architectural value. This status ensures the protection of the object and its maintenance for future generations.

Today the rectory is accessible to visitors with an interest in history and architecture. The combination of Classicist and Art Nouveau elements makes it a unique object to explore. Visiting the building is an opportunity not only to admire architectural details, but also to understand the development of the local community.

Fara Fryštát is not just a religious building; is a testament to the past and representative of the region's cultural heritage. History, architecture and importance make it a valuable monument that deserves the attention of every interested person in Czech history. A tour of the rectory allows you to explore deeper layers of local history and building art.
