History

The late renaissance church of St. Jošt in the existing Comenius? municipal park was built most probably by Jan Bruntálský, the nephew of Earl Bartoloměj Bruntálský of Vrbno in 1612. The new main altar was built in 1666 and consecrated in 1673 in the honour and praise of St. Jošt. Sacristy and wooden belfry was annexed to the church in the first half of 18^th century or in 1791 respectively. It was originally a votive church, which has soon become cemetery church. Especially the inhabitants of the outskirts of Frýdek and Staré Město were buried there. During the reign of Joseph II a regulation was issued that cemeteries can not be located in the centre of the town for hygienic reasons, therefore the cemetery at the Parish church of St. Jan Křtitel was cancelled and the inhabitants of the town were buried on the cemetery at the Church of St. Jošt. There is a park on the place of the cemetery today. The church has a simple renaissance form. Quadrilateral construction with supporting pillars on the perimeter is terminated by semicircular presbytery with a small circular sacristy behind. Wooden tower with bells is covered with shingles, as well as the entire roof.

History The place was named according to former archduke forest, where there was a spring well, which was a point of destination of pilgrims from basilica of the Visitation. These people believed that the water from the well has got magic power. In 1786 the forester Michal Hirschheimer erected a wooden cross at the well rising from the sidehill. The priest of Frýdek, duke Justus Vilém Pražma, had this cross sheltered. His successor Josef Karel Schipp built in 1834 today?s wooden chapel of the St. Cross and the priest Pavel Prutek had in 1840 made a stone well. The priest Karel Findinský provided for a cement water reservoir, in which the pilgrims could wash their legs, he repaired the well, and in 1871 he consecrated the chapel with Calvary statuary.
