OUR TOWN AND REGION

Frýdek-Místek is a city situated in Moravian-Silesian region near Beskydy mountains. Frydek-Mistek is a twin town which comprises of two original cities - Moravian Mistek (from 13th century) and Silesian Frydek (first mentioned in writing in the 14th century). Both towns were united in 1943 and today's name Frydek-Mistek has been used since 1955. During the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, in 1939 soldiers in Czajanek’s barracks put up resistance against the Nazis. This heroic act is also why I am proud of my hometown. During the second half of the 20th century there was a big population increase, because of nearly situated mines. Nowadays there live almost 60 000 inhabitants.

The first interesting place I am going to talk about is the Castle of Frydek. It is originally a Gothic castle from the first half of 14th century, later it was reconstructed many times. Its purpose was to safeguard the merchant’s trail from Moravia to Poland. Nowadays the Museum of Beskydy is settled there and it offers two expositions for tours – a castle tour and an extensive exposition of the Beskydy mountains and Beskydy region, documenting the history and culture of Beskydy area.
In the middle of Castle’s Square stands a fountain with a statue of St. Florin. He is patron of Frydek.
Not far from the square is Hluboka Street. You can get along the ancient lane down to the place where one of the town gates used to stand. Instead of the gate we can find there Lang’s house, valuable classicist building that serves as an art-gallery. Another interesting house is At Crooked dog. It is situated on Na Vesele Street. This baroque building, from the second half of the 18th century, is famous inn. Here spent the night for example general Kutuzov (1805).
In Frýdek lies one of the most known pilgrimage places in Moravia. The Church of Virgin Mary of Frýdek – Basilica Minor, was built in the 18th century. There is a legend connected to this place. St. Mary’s statue was found while digging. They took it to another church. But the next day the statue was miraculously found at the same place as the day before. The way of the cross is located around the church.
Evangelical Church is situated near the hospital. It’s red color definitely catch your attention.
Not far away from the Castle Square is situated another church – Church of St. John the Baptist. The church was originally wooden and burned down many times. Under the church there are crypts with the tombs of clergymen. Another church is Church of St. Joduc.
Slezská street ends at a former Jewish graveyard, which belongs to the most extensive Jewish graveyards in Czech Republic.
Last must see in Frýdek is my favorite one. Frydek forest, beautiful piece of nature, is home of ruined Frýdek barracks.

Frýdek is definitely full of interesting places. But so is Místek. In Místek’s former Emeror Street, nowadays called U Staré Pošty, the old post office used to stand there. What is so interesting about it? Well famous poet Peter Bezruč worked there.
National House is one of the most city’s prominent cultural centres. Balls, concerts or lections took place there almost every week. Next to the National House we can find Moravia bank building. The bank went bankrupt many years ago.
People can go for cultural events not only to the National Hall, but also to a multifunctional facility called Vlast. It is a combination of cinema and theatre.
On erratic boulders we can find names of most famous poems from Slezske písně.
Místek’s Square (Square of Freedom) was once visited by Václav Havel, former president. Also, there stands a column with a statue of Virgin Mary. You can admire beautiful burgher houses with archway too.
In Místek we can find many parks – Smetana Gardens, Janacek park for example.
Church of All Saints was built as thanks for the deliverance from the plague in 18th century. A small park around the church used to be a graveyard.
In the Rococo Church of Saint John and Paul we can find reliquary with remains of pope Inocenc. Church is surrounded by wall with way of the cross.
Around the church of St. Jacob we can find statues of saints (František, Josef Pěstoun with baby Jesus).
