About the venue: Churches of St. Martin and St. John the Baptist

The Roman Catholic parish of Frenštát pod Radhoštěm administers two historic churches. The parish church of St. Martin (the so-called lower church) was completed in 1680 on the site of an older church that burned down in 1661; it is a baroque single-nave building with an onion-domed tower, decorated with a triptych of the Wallachian Madonna by Adolf Liebscher and a Wallachian Nativity Scene by Jan Knebl. The filial church of St. John the Baptist (the so-called upper church) dates from 1640, with its tower completed in 1780; the interior features neo-Gothic furnishings from an 1891 re-Gothicization, and the church is a state-listed cultural monument.
