Frysztak’s monuments-Saint
Florian’s statue.

In the middle of Frysztak we can
find a square of Saint Florian.
This square got such a name
after Saint Florian. Saint Florian
is the patron of firemen. This
memorial was built in 1901, after
a horrible fire in Frysztak. It
happened in 1890.
•Frysztak’s chronicler Józef
Piętniewicz described this event in
these words: ”… On Sunday 4th
May, at about 9 o’clock the fire
started to spread, many buildings
caught fire(…) even 2 houses
behind the city were destroyed(…)
46 houses were burned.”
Saint Florian’s life

Saint Florian was a Roman soldier,
born in 250. He served in the
provinceof Noricum. He helped
Christians when the emperor of
Rome sent an edict, in which he
ordered to haunt all Christians. For
that reason saint Florian was
arrested and tortured. He died in
304 in the river Enns. He was
drowned. For that he is the patron
of firemen and every profession
which in connected with fire.
Death of saint Florian
The nature reserve-the mountain „Chełm”
The reserve - mountain „Chełm” was established in the 19th century.
 In this reserve we can find many different kinds of animals particularly:
-deer, wild boars, badgers owls, hawks and many plants.
 On the right side we see a small shrine
made with wood. There was a lot of legends
about snakes. The other legends
said that local church or monastery
disappeared without a trace. The mystery is
not cleared up. Inside this shrine there were
special books where people wrote their requests.
MANOR IN KOBYLE
Manor in Kobyle was built
in 1922- 1923. In manor

The manor is big and
beautiful. It has got white
walls, beautiful porches, a
terrace, big white windows

The project about…
Church in Frysztak
Our church
Beautiful hills, extensive valleys, spectacular forests, winding brooks... This is our village with one of the oldest buildings in
this region - the church.
Our church was built in 1927 by priest Wojciech Blajer. In our church there is the beautiful antique altar and stone-sculptures
presenting Saint Mark and Saint John. On the ceiling there are beautiful paintings showing angels. People built this temple on
a very big hill. During German occupation in the course of Worl War II our chuch was damaged. The roof was hit by around
80 missiles. After the war people restored the temple. In our parish there are 5000 worshippers. This church for us - Catholics
- is very important.
We can pray there every day. On weekdays there are two masses. Every Sunday there are five big masses.

Jewish cemeteries in
Frysztak
In 17th century Jews arrived in our
village. First, they lived in the suburbs
but then settled in all area of the town.
Jews dealt in trade and they were also
craftsmen. In 1939 World War II went
out. There were a lot of casualties. 70%
of people including 50% of Jews lost
their lives. Jews who survived escaped
from our town. Because of heavy
casualties a lot of cemeteries were built.
In Frysztak there are 4 Jewish
cemeteries. In Frysztak and in Glinik
Dolny and Twierdza, nowadays they are
in a bad
condition but our administration
officials are going to renovate them. We
are conscious that
Jewish minority is an important part of
our history.
This photo was taken between World
War I and World War II.
