LOURDES CHAPEL OF VIRGIN MARY AT HOREČKY

The Lourdes Chapel at Horečky was built as a stylized cave sunk into the slope below the VIčina Hotel. Its construction was ordered and financed by the wife of Mr. Bumbala, a businessman from Frenštát, as thanks for her recovery. In the 1930s Mr. Choleva presented the chapel with a bell. In 1978 Frenštát communists tried hard to have the chapel pulled down, claiming that it looked like a bunker. Fortunately, the chapel is situated on Trojanovice land and so it was able to escape the despotism of the magistrates of the Frenštát Town Committee. People meet here every year to celebrate the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven
