History In 1886 the Archpriest of Frýdek and Dean P. Karel Findinski obtained a permit to fall trees in Gruň for construction of the church of Gruň and stone foundations were laid one year later. The architectonical design was elaborated by the constructor of Frýdek Heinrich and the construction was supervised by the carpenter master of Frýdek Stanislav Pětroš. The construction took place from 1890 to 1891. Both bells were delivered by Hilcer company from Vienna. The bells were consecrated to Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Filip on 1st October 1891 by the priest of Frýdek, prince-bishop commissar Karel Findinski. The altar and pulpit was carved by Gavlas of Sedliště and it was gold plated by a well known gold-plater of Frýdek Menšík. The altar annex contains a picture of the Virgin Mary, helper of the Christians painted by Frýdek painter Vašek. In the central recess of the altar there is a sculpture of the Good Shepard carved by Riefeser, a wood carver from Tyrolean Gröden. Beside there are sculptures of St. Filip and St. Jan Nepomucký. The church was consecrated on 11th October 1891 and the first mass was celebrated there by local priest P. Antonín Nogol.

History
St. Cross Dignity Church was built at the turn of 19th and 20th century, probably in 1897. In the second half of 16th century we also could find a church here, which however dilapidated and a new one was built in its place. This small church belongs to the most charming ones in the entire Northern Moravia and Silesia. It was further made even nicer in recent years by replacement of the metal pyramid roof of the tower. It was covered with wooden shingles, which harmonizes with the entire construction much more. Rectangular windows are ornamented with carved wooden bars. There is a wooden cross to the left from the entrance and a written document right beside the entrance reminding with its contents and style the declaration of one of the last princes of the Těšín branch of Piastovci, which is a memento of the time of origination of original wooden church in this place.
Masses The masses are held each Wednesday at 15:15 o´clock
