Lutheran church in Třanovice, Modern Lutheran church in Třanovice, Czech Republic.
The Lutheran church in Třanovice is a modern religious building with cylindrical stairwells on each side that lead to a choir loft. A square belfry marks the northern side of the structure.
Fundraising for a chapel began in 1896, but the money collected was seized by the state in 1915 as a war loan, along with the bells of the cemetery mortuary. A new building committee was formed in 1927 and commissioned Tadeusz Michejda; the foundation stone was laid on 8 September 1929 and the church was consecrated on 13 September 1931. Two new bells were consecrated a year later, and the congregation became independent on 11 July 1950.
The church belongs to the Silesian Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession and has formed its own congregation since 11 July 1950, in the Frýdek seniorate. Services were previously led by pastors from Český Těšín and Komorní Lhotka, and Třanovice was long attached to those congregations. The small sacristy was enlarged into a large congregational hall in 1952–1953.
The church is located in Třanovice and can be reached by car with parking available nearby. Regular worship services are held here, and visitors are welcome to join the local community.
The church's three bells were cast in 1944 at the Vítkovice ironworks, after the wartime requisition of the earlier bells, and consecrated the same year. The organ, bought in 1947, came from the Rieger firm in Krnov.
