It is a one-day bazilikální stavba s kaplemi a kryptou, its gothic core is derived from the 2nd half of the 14th století. Dominantou kostela je hranolovitá věž pocházející z pozdního 16. století.

Stavba kostelní věže started in 1604, but the stavba probíhala velmi slowly, and so it lasted until 1650. It was zapříčiněno nejistým obdobím třicetileté války, zhoubnými nemocemi and fires.

However, the first documented mention dates back to 1447; At that time, the parish in Frydek was listed in the list of Saint Peter's Day prepared by the archdeacon of Opole, Mikołaj Wolff, among other parishes of the archipriest (deanery) in Cieszyn under the name of Fredek. The confirmation of the existence of the parish in Frýdek was a letter from Duke Casimir II. The church was dedicated to St. John the Baptist, patron of the Wrocław diocese. In the years 1554–1581 the church belonged to the Lutherans. In 1592, the temple suffered from a fire and as a result had to be vaulted again. As the city's population grew, the present nave and chapels of St. st. Anna, St. Cross, St. John of Nepomuk and Our Lady of Sorrows. At the beginning of the 17th century, the construction of a stone tower began, but it was interrupted in 1620 as a result of the Thirty Years' War. The church itself suffered losses during this war when it was desecrated and damaged by Mansfeld's soldiers on Christmas Day 1626. The completion of the construction of the tower began in October 1650. April 12, 1688 was an important event for the church and the entire city. On that day, a great fire broke out, which burned the entire inner city together with the castle, parish school, parish church and the church itself within a few hours. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C5%9Bci%C3%B3%C5%82_%C5%9Bw._Jana_Chrzciciela_we_Frydku-Mistku

The Slezská Ostrava Town Hall (Slezskoostravská radnice) in the center of the city of Ostrava is one of the city's landmarks. It is located on the right bank of the Ostravice, below the confluence of the Lučina, at the address Těšínská 138. The community building, which was rebuilt in neo-baroque style in 1897, was no longer sufficient for representative purposes. That is why the construction of the new town hall was decided under the leadership of Mayor Jan Poppe. It was built on a plot of land next to the old town hall in Zámostí. The city held an architectural competition for the town hall in early 1910. Third place went to a project by Antonín Papež in the classicism style, the second was the proposal by the architect Viktorin Šulc from Pilsen. His project "Hanna" was kept in the form of the historicizing architectural style. The construction of the new town hall took place in 1911–1913 according to modified plans, in which, in addition to Šulc, the head of the building department at the municipal office Jaroslav Volenec, his assistant František Doležel and the builder Julius Vysloužil took part. The design of the town hall is a combination of neo-renaissance forms with other historical architectural styles. There are also elements of Art Nouveau here, especially inside. The main staircase to the first floor and the hall there are typical examples. The valuable parts include the plate inscriptions in the entrance stairs, the main staircase with lighting fixtures and, above all, the representation hall with richly decorated chandeliers. Although the town hall was not a revolutionary architectural work, its exterior and scale formed a picturesque and correspondingly balanced unit with the surrounding houses. Around 1950 subsidence appeared as an impact of the coal mining in the whole area. The urban planning intention to lead a north-south main road below the town hall on the right bank of the Ostravice also contributed to the destruction of the fairly new development in Zámostí. This resulted in a redesign of this part of Slezská Ostrava. (Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathaus_(Slezsk%C3%A1_Ostrava))

The Cathedral of the Divine Savior (Katedrála Božského Spasitele in Czech) in the Moravian city of Ostrava is the episcopal cathedral of the Roman Catholic diocese of Ostrava-Troppau. The co-cathedral is the Assumption Church in Opava. The former village of Mährisch Ostrau grew into an industrial city in the last third of the 19th century due to the coal mining industry. The only church of St. Wenceslas until the 1870s was no longer sufficient. Between 1883 and 1889 the new parish church of the Divine Redeemer was built. Based on designs by Gustav Meretta and Max von Ferstel, a representative three-aisled basilica was built in the neo-renaissance style. The semicircular main apse and two side apses adjoin the seven-bay nave in the southeast, and the portal facade with the two 67 m high towers in the northwest. The interior is framed in white, coffered and structured with pillars with front half-columns and horizontal beams. The economical equipment takes a back seat to the clear spatial effect. With the establishment of the Ostrava-Troppau diocese by Pope John Paul II in 1996, the Church of the Redeemer was elevated to the status of a cathedral. In 1998 she received a new organ. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathedrale_zum_G%C3%B6ttlichen_Erl%C3%B6ser_(Ostrava)
