Frystat Palace is a nineteenth-century empire residence, formerly owned by the Larisch family. Inside, there is now an interior museum that shows the life of the Czech nobility in the 19th and early 20th centuries. You can see here completely furnished rooms with original and reconstructed furniture. One of the wings presents works of Czech art from the 19th century.
The palace stands on the site of the former castle of the Cieszyn Piasts, who had their second residence here after Cieszyn. Repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, the building became the property of the Larisch family at the end of the 18th century, which occupied a high place in the Viennese court. Rebuilt in the Empire style, the U-shaped city palace was initially their headquarters. After building a new palace in Solka, he performed primarily economic functions.
Of the three Larisch palaces around Karviná, only Frystat has survived to this day. The exhibitions present furniture, handicrafts, paintings and sculptures from all palaces. In addition, in the wing called Lottyhaus, works of art from the collection of the National Gallery in Prague are shown.
