Church of St. Anne
he most important historical architectural monument of Rajnochovice is the local church, which is closely related to the foundation of Rajnochovice. On the site of today’s cemetery (to the left of the current church) there was a wooden church of St. Anne from the 12th century. The church gradually decayed under the increasing number of visitors, so the parish priest asked for help in Olomouc. Olomouc Cardinal Wolfgang of Schrattenbach decided to build a spacious church of the Nativity of St. Mary and St. Anne next to the wooden church, designed by the Italian architect G. P. Tencal. The temple was built between 1711 and 1716, and in 1717 it received its bells. After the sons of Nicholas (the founder of the village, see history) settled near the church in 1721, one of them became the bell-ringer.
The church is an architectural gem of the Baroque period. It is also called the “cathedral of Wallachia” because of its dimensions (ground plan 38 x 12 m). A wide stone staircase leads to the entrance of the church. There is a stone coat of arms of Cardinal Schrattenbach and a sundial above the entrance, with statues of St. John of Nepomuk and St. John Sarkander on the sides. There is also a stone pieta in front of the church (seated Mary with Christ on her lap) with the year 1815 and a stone cross from 1737.
The church itself has a vaulted ceiling, 22 windows with lunettes on the sides. In fine weather, the sun’s rays create admirable illumination. On the main altar is a wooden sculpture of St. Anne with the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus. It probably comes from the original wooden church. Around the sculpture is a decorative wooden carving. There is a painting of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary behind the main altar. In 1930, a new organ was installed in the original baroque organ case from 1720, which is one of the oldest in Moravia. The church has excellent acoustics.
At the same time as the church, the archbishop had a small mansion built for occasional stays. In 1727 a parish was established here with the right to keep registers of births, marriages and deaths. The parish building is currently the home of the Youth Centre of the Archdiocese of Olomouc – “The Port”. Young people have the opportunity to spend their free days together, play sports, attend lectures, spiritual renewal, etc. A similar purpose is served by the recreational facility in Košov – “Archa”. The centre has conditions for year-round accommodation.

Historical forest railway in Rajnochovice
The Rajnochovice railway is a significant chapter in the history of Rajnochovice and the entire region. Between 1904 and 1906, a narrow-gauge forest railway was built here, 8.3 km long, which ran along the slopes from the steam sawmill to the area above Podhradní Lhota (below Kečský Javorník). The railway was built to transport timber to the sawmill. The locomotive would take empty wagons to the remote forests in the morning, while the loaded wagons would go down by themselves. The log cars had a capacity of 6000kg. The forest railway also had two passenger cars, which were used for Sunday trips of the estate and their guests.
The railway continued to operate without problems until 1918. The Archbishop’s superiors even planned to build another section of the railway to the Tesák area and a connection between the sawmill and the Rajnochovice railway station. During World War I, however, there was insufficient maintenance and breakdowns began to occur (even locomotives derailed). Locomotive traffic was therefore stopped and empty bogies began to be pulled by horses. In 1921 the railway traffic was stopped and in 1925 the final liquidation was ordered. After the forest railway in Rajnochovice, the picturesque forest road “štreka” remains to this day.
Recently, efforts have been made to restore this historical gem of the village through the civic association Society for the Restoration of the Rajnochovice Forest Railway. The basic aim of the Society is, as already mentioned, the restoration of the narrow gauge forest railway in Rajnochovice and the building of a forest railway museum with an information centre (the Society has already managed to buy the land and property opposite the sawmill), running demonstration rides, bringing together those interested in the history of forest and other narrow gauge railways and also organizing cultural and educational events.

Kelčský Javorník lookout tower
There is a lookout tower at the top of Kelčský Javorník (open since September 2015). The aim of the tower is to increase the tourist attractiveness of the Kelčský Javorník and Hostýn Hills and to offer an unusual view of the region. There used to be a wooden lookout tower at the top of Kelčský Javorník in the Hostýn Hills. However, it had to be demolished for safety reasons. The new tower was built according to the design of ing. Ondrej Balazik and architect Marta Balážiková. The tower consists of a central steel column with a spiral staircase. The outer lining of the tower consists of 12 bent larch slats, the plan of which resembles a clock face. During the ascent, the visitor can observe the surroundings through the slats. Every eleventh step of the 156 steps is a stop with a view. The last step is the main viewing platform. Access to the observation tower is unlimited and free of charge.

Bazilika Nanebovzatia Panny Márie
Hostýn, with its Marian shrine (Basilica minor), is the most visited pilgrimage site in Moravia and, after Velehrad, also the most memorable. The expositions of the Holy Hostýn Museum present the historical development of Hostýn from prehistory to the present day. The Hostýn Hills, named after the monumental mountain Hostýn, are a spur of the Moravian-Slovak Carpathian Mountains and therefore also the western part of the Vsetín Hills. Hostýn Mountain consists of two peaks – the higher northern peak with a lookout tower and a wind power station (736 m), the pilgrimage church and the monastery house are located on the western peak (718 m). Numerous archaeological investigations have shown that Hostýn was inhabited as early as the Stone Age.
The dominant building of the whole Hostýn is the Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (completed in 1748) with a statue of the Virgin Mary. The basilica is surrounded by amphitheatres with chapels. At the beginning of the staircase leading up to the basilica is the Water Chapel with a spring of miraculous water. Very valuable is Jurkovič’s Stations of the Cross with Kohler mosaics. The last stop of the path (the round chapel of the Holy Sepulchre) is near the forest cemetery. Here are the eternal resting places of personalities whose lives were connected with Svatý Hostýn. There is a 15 m high lookout tower with 59 iron stairs on the higher peak. There is a wind power station next to the tower.
Holy Hostýn Museum
The former museum was located in the lookout tower, today’s museum is located in the unique Jurkovič Hall in the grounds of the pilgrimage houses. It presents the historical development of Hostýn from prehistory to the present day in its exhibitions on the ground floor. There is an exhibition of natural history, flora and fauna of the Hostýn Hills in the gallery. All exhibits are accompanied by descriptions and there is also modern audiovisual technology. The founder and operator of the museum is the Holy Hostýn Foundation.
The Basilica Minor underwent a major reconstruction in the winter of 2010 and 2011, which included the insulation of the church. In the summer of 2011, the boiler room in the sanctuary was converted into a training centre.

Jurkovičova krížová cesta

Krížová cesta Dušana Jurkoviča
Jurkovič umiestnil svoju krížovú cestu severovýchodne od kostola. Na architektonicky riešenú cestu v tvare podkovy nepravidelne umiestnil trinásť zastavení rôzneho tvaru, ktoré akoby vychádzali z lesa na pravej strane. Osem z nich zostupuje z vrcholu kostola, kým deviate zastavenie sa týči na mohutnej kamennej terase, na ktorú sa vystupuje po sérii schodov. Ukončenie krížovej cesty tvorí existujúca rotunda, začlenená do areálu cintorína. Vo vnútri sa nachádza kamenný reliéf Uloženie do hrobu. Krížová cesta bola budovaná postupne od roku 1904 až do druhej svetovej vojny. Vojnové útrapy a s nimi spojený nedostatok finančných prostriedkov narušili tento veľkolepý Jurkovičov plán. Mnohé z plánovaných stavieb museli byť zrušené, napríklad aula, zvonica, kaplnka svätých Cyrila a Metoda, obchodná tržnica a mnohé ďalšie.
Jednotlivé zastávky sú zhruba troch typov. Sú riešené ako otvorené kaplnky, pozostávajúce zo steny z brúsených kamenných kvádrov s mozaikovým obrazom a lomenicovým prístreškom, zvyčajne spočívajúcim na trámoch. Zakončenie steny je buď oblúkovité, alebo trojuholníkové a prístrešky sú kryté lomenicami. Modré šupinové dlaždice pokrývajú aj oblúk alebo štít zadnej steny priliehajúcej k streche chalupy s lomenicou. Strechu podopierajú dva stĺpy s konzolami. Tieto drevené stĺpy v kamennom sokli majú polychrómiu v červenej, žltej, modrej a zelenej farbe, rovnako aj lomenica. Ak je obrazová stena ukončená oblúkom, kamenný kríž na streche domčeka je chránený secesnou oblúkovou doskou. Trojuholníkový štít je zakončený krížom. Strecha je nižšia, rozložená na tri polia, pričom stredné je vyššie a vystupujúce. Podlaha kaplnky je z kamenných stupňov a pred obrazom je kľačadlo. Maliarska výzdoba bola zverená Jožkovi, ktorý navrhol aj prvé sklenené mozaiky pašiových scén. B. Škarda z Brna. Neskôr vo farebnej keramickej mozaike pokračoval J. Köhler.

Rozhľadňa na Svätom Hostýne
Z kamennej rozhľadne cisára Františka Jozefa I. na vrchu Hostýn (735 m n. m.) je krásny výhľad na Bystřicu pod Hostýnem, Svatý Kopeček pri Olomouci, Jeseníky, Zlín, Hranice na Morave a za veľmi dobrých podmienok môžete vidieť aj Pálavu alebo slovenské Tatry. Na pútnickom mieste moravského Hostýna (735 m n. m.) stojí nielen Bazilika Nanebovzatia Panny Márie, ale aj Vyhliadková veža cisára Františka Jozefa I., v ktorej prízemí je kaplnka Svätého kríža. Rozhľadňa bola postavená v rokoch 1897-98, keď cisár František Jozef I. navštívil Bystřicu pod Hostýnem. Otvorená bola 14. septembra 1898 a táto udalosť musela byť bez veľkej slávy, krajina bola tesne po smrti panovníkovej manželky Alžbety.
Pôvodne bola veža vysoká 27 metrov, ale v roku 1915 ju z bezpečnostných dôvodov znížili. Súčasná výška veže je 15 metrov. Na vyhliadkovú plošinu vo výške 12 metrov vedie 63 schodov.
Pôdorys veže tvoria dva nerovnako veľké kruhy muriva z tvrdého kameňa Hostýn. Väčší z nich má priemer približne sedem metrov, menší asi tri metre. Hrúbka muriva je 70 cm až jeden meter. Vstup do rozhľadne je na severnej strane, kde sa nachádza točité železné schodisko vedúce do miestnosti prvého Hostýnskeho múzea a potom na vyhliadkovú plošinu s ďalekohľadom vo výške 12 metrov.
Pod rozhľadňou v prízemí sa nachádza kaplnka Svätého kríža. Vstup z južnej strany tvoria ručne kované železné dvere, ktoré sú dielom umeleckého kováča pána Skřehotu z Bystřice pod Hostýnem. Vo vnútri oproti dverám je oltár a nad ním pieskovcová socha Sedembolestnej Panny Márie a mramorový kríž. Zhotovil ho majster Ferdinand Neumann z Kroměříža a inštalovaný bol 22. júna 1898. Okrúhle okná boli ozdobené sklenenou plastikou od B. Škarda z Brna.
