History

St. Cross Dignity Church was built at the turn of 19^th and 20^th century, probably in 1897. In the second half of 16^th 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
