Site Řepiště

History The opinions on the foundation of the church in Řepiště in various sources differ. They say that it was either in 1484 or 1485. The church of Řepiště was originally a parish church. Since 1652 it belonged to the Protestants (Lutherans), from whom it was sequestered in 1654 and assigned to Šenov. Already in 1688 the church was consecrated to St. Nicholas, it was all wooden, it had a board ceiling and floor. On the external side of the church there was a gallery covered porch (similarly to the church in Sedliště, where it remained preserved until present). In 1785 the church was removed from the parish of Šenov and was assigned to the parish of Vratimov. According to orally spread information the church went through big changes between 1867 and 1891, both in its interior as well as exterior, which underwent partial reconstruction. Further adjustments were performed in 1931-1932 (tower) and others in 1950. Last adjustments were made in the church interior (new plasters, painting, new benches) in 1995 ? 1996. The church is wooden on the brick and stone substructure. The roof, both towers ? the main and small spirelet and side wall are covered from outside by shingles. The slender spirelet was built only in 1865. Its bulb is high, covered with shingles and supported with six columns, that are covered with plate. It has got a metal apex with a ball and single arm cross. The church has got only one aisle with main altar towards east. . There are two iron bells in the tower that were hung in 1918 to the place of original two bells sequestered for military purposes.

History Sub-Carpathian wooden church consecrated to St. Prokop and Barbara stood originally in Hliňanka in Carpathian Ruthenia. It was built at the turn of 17^th and 18^th century and there is a mention about its repair in Hliňanka village in 1735. In Carpathian Ruthenia it originally belonged to the Greek-Catholic church. It was transported to Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem thanks to the director of the Mining and Metallurgical Company in Ostrava, Ing. Šebela. He had it dismantled, loaded onto several wagons and taken to Kunčice. After necessary repair of some parts the church was rebuilt. Also the church tower, which had before been destroyed, was reconstructed. In 1931 the church was consecrated to St. Prokop and barbara, the patrons of the Miners. In 1963 an urn grove was established and opened around the church. Though the church is made of oak beams, it was in an bad state of repair in the 1920s. It originally missed superstructure and also the wooden floor outlived its usefulness. Only with serious difficulties the corresponding wood was obtained, dried and cut by local inventive craftsmen and lifted and equipped with superstructure and the rotten beams were replaced and 15 years ago it was given a new roof.

Site Trojanovice, Radhošť

History The foundation stone of the chapel of Radhošť was consecrated on 5th July 1896. The finished chapel was then consecrated on 11th September 1898 by Archbishop of Olomouc Theodor Kohn. The chapel was designed by architect Skibinský in the Byzantine style to symbolize the Byzantine origin of both saints. It was decorated with marble altar of Cyril and Metoděj of the sculptor Neumann of Kroměříž and the right side altar for the picture of Liebsher?s Walachian Madonna was built in it in 1904. The original of the picture is currently replaced with a copy of Painter Otakar Pavlovský. The mosaics in its eight windows portrait the scene from the life of Cyril and Metoděj, St. Hedvika, St. Ludmila, St. Wenceslas and St. Jan Nepomucký. The longing for unification of the Christians of the western and the eastern ordinance is symbolized by the inscription over the entrance in the chapel ?Slavonians, love thine neighbours and get unified in faith that was preached here by St. Cyril and Metoděj". An extensive reconstruction of the chapel was carried out in 1924-1926. The construction adjustments were organized by the constructor from Rožnov František Bayer and they were carried out by carpenters under the lead of master Michal Fabián of Zubří. They mortared the chapel, lined it with shingles and then added the belfry in Greek-Uniate style. The chapel went through the last renewal in 2000, when the entire belfry was reconstructed. Everything was managed by Matice Radhošťská community, which has been taking care for the chapel since its consecration in 1898.
