Collection for Construction
A collection was organized to support the construction, raising approximately 3,500 gold coins. In 1895, industrialist Emil Kostelník became the chairman of the committee. That year, he purchased the original painting “Wallachian Madonna” by Adolf Liebscher at the ethnographic exhibition in Prague and undertook a journey through Moravia and Bohemia, during which he collected an additional estimated amount of about 7,500 gold coins. Archbishop Theodor Kohn of Olomouc donated part of the land in the Trojanovice cadastre for the chapel and took patronage over it. Count Rudolf Kinský of the Rožnov estate also donated part of his land in the Dolní Bečva cadastre.
Construction
The planned chapel was to be built partly on the Rožnov side and partly on the Frenštát side. On July 5, 1896, the foundation stone of the Radhošť chapel was consecrated. Since its consecration by Archbishop Theodor Kohn of Olomouc in 1898, it has been cared for by members of the Matice Radhošťská association from Trojanovice.


Repair of the Bell Tower
The Matice Radhošťská association also oversaw the restoration of the wooden bell tower in 2000. Similar to the construction of the chapel a century earlier, people in Wallachia organized a collection, the proceeds of which partially covered the construction costs. In addition to money, they also donated wood from their own forests. One of the beams transported to Radhošť was engraved with the symbolic inscription “Valaši sobě” (Wallachians for Themselves).
The craftsmen who restored the chapel had to demonstrate the same skill and artistry as their predecessors. The carved columns, hand-hewn beams, and shingle roof of the new bell tower are identical in detail to the original historical structure.
