The Empire-style Fryštát chateau is a unique example of this type of architecture in the region. Even
the fact that the chateau still exists is remarkable; Karviná used to have three large aristocratic manor-houses, but
two of them were destroyed in the early 20th century, falling victim to the onward march
of industrialization. After an extensive restoration and renovation, the chateau was opened to the public
in 1997, and since 2003 visitors have also been able to tour another part of the complex –
the neighbouring building known as the “Lottyhaus”. Truly the chateau is the jewel
in Karviná’s crown, and it attracts more and more visitors every year. Each season visitors can look forward
to new features and events enlivening the tours of the beautiful historic interiors.
