There have been belfries in the neighbourhoods of Pod Javorníkem, Pod Radhoštěm, at Lomná and at Bystré ever since Trojanovice was founded. The ringers rang the bells each morning. noon and evening as well as on the event of someone's death or to announce a fire.

The Belfry below Javorník 

The belfry dates to 1941 and its con-struction is connected with the name of carpenter Karel Halamíček. Originally it was a simple belfry standing in the garden of shopkeeper Josef Mikeska, house number 33. Currently it is Mrs. Zdena Stavárková, who executes the function of the bell-ringer.

The Belfry at Bystré

This belfry is obviously one of the oldest in the village. Its bell from 1769 is listed a Cultural Heritage, the same as the Statue of Virgin Mary dated to 1720, which stands next to the belfry. The belfry uses a copy of the bell whose original has been deposited into the village office archives. The original belfry used to be smaller and very simple. Carpenters Josef Káňa and Valentin Stnadel rebuilt the belfry to its current look in the mid 1950s. Bell-ringing is the task of Mr. Pavel Uhlář from house number 593.

The Belfry on Horečky Hills - Guardian of Beskydy mountains

 

 This open spiritual building symbolizes the disagreement of inhabitants to coal mining in the Beskydy Mountains. The initiator of the construction is the civic association Naše Beskydy. Modern bell design is the work of architects Kamil Mrva and Martin Rosa. 

 

The building is based on the Wallachian folk tradition of simple wooden bells. Next to the all-wood construction with a shingle shell, there are eight-meter masts of three larch beams carrying a 30 kilogram weighing bell from the workshop in Halenkov, which will ring the knell of the Frenštát mine.

 

 In addition to the logo of the civil association Naše Beskydy, the emblem of Trojanovice and Frenštát, the bell bears the names of 37 towns and villages that joined together against coal mining in the Beskydy Mountains. At the bottom of the bell is a quote from a Frenštát native Josef Kalus, "Who shames my mountains, as if he shamed me, who praises my mountains, how he would bow to me." For the first time, the symbolic death knell sounded on the third anniversary Locking the Wallachian Land for 100 years on May 15, 2010
