World Museum and Library of the Bible
The World Museum and Library of the Bible aims to create a quality and dignified place that makes unique exhibits of Bibles and spiritual books available to the general public. The museum offers approximately four hundred pieces of historic religious books and Christian literature from the mid-16th century onwards. In the old monastery building you can see an exhibition dedicated to the most famous book of the Bible and other spiritual books. You will see, for example, the Bibles of Melantrich dating from 1549 and 1556, Bibles written in the language of the black Zulu tribe and the Bible written in an artificial language – Esperanto. An interesting feature is a handwritten transcription of the Gospel of Mark on cigarette paper or a Bible in water, which is actually displayed in water. It is made of a secret material, the donor did not reveal it. It’s not plastic or paper.
Bibles also come in packages from donors all over the world, and each one has a story. For example, the huge, handmade, years-old leporettos, telling children Bible stories, were personally brought by an eighty-two-year-old woman from Zlín. Among them is a book called Hvězdička (Little Star), handwritten and painted by the disabled Jana Janigová from Staré Turé. Her disability allowed her to hold the pencil only close to her eyes.
The smallest bible comes from Switzerland and is written in English, the seven-pound one was used during important events, and the one on cigarette papers was transcribed by one of the political prisoners to keep with him in times of hardship.

Church of Corpus Christi
The church was built in 1605, originally in Renaissance style, later rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style. The history of the church is very varied. In the 16th century it was dominated by Lutherans. It was only in 1615 that it became permanently a Catholic church. In 1652 it was rededicated to Corpus Christi. Therefore, in June, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, processions and festive services are held at the church. The church has been hit by fires several times. In 1931, the church was enlarged with a transept with a coffered ceiling and a presbytery designed by Jaroslav Oplt from Brno. In 1886 a new organ was installed in the church.
In 1945, new bells were added to the church. The original ones were confiscated by the German authorities during the war. The post-war bells rang at the church until July 2011. In October 2011, 3 new bells were consecrated. John Paul II, Our Lady of Fatima and St. Hedwig.
One of the symbols of Jablunkov, the church tower, has remained unchanged for centuries.

Chapel of St. Anne
The chapel is located at the foot of Kozubová Mountain in the village of Milíkov, in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains, at an altitude of 982 m, about 35 km southeast of Frýdek-Místek. The chapel of St. Anne is part of the 18 m high stone lookout tower. The lookout tower is accessible only during church services (i.e. 4 times a year), otherwise it is closed. However, the key to the tower is available for rent at the nearby Kozubová cottage. The chapel was built here on the initiative of parish priest Ploszko from Hnojník in 1936-37. Jan Kisza from Ropice managed the construction according to the project of the architect Dawid from Český Těšín. The consecration ceremony of the completed building made of Godul sandstone took place on St. Anne’s Day on 26 July 1937 with the participation of about 10 thousand people. The inhabitants of the region contributed to the construction with their financial donations thanks to a public collection.

Lookout tower Kozubová
The lookout tower on Kozubová (982 m above sea level) in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains is a part of the Chapel of St. Anne situated in the cadastre of the village Milíkov. The chapel of St. Anne was built on Kozubová on the initiative of parish priest Ploszek from Hnojník in 1936-37. At the end of the 1990s, the building underwent extensive external and internal reconstruction, to which, in addition to the faithful, the surrounding villages contributed. The nearby tourist hut was built in 1929 and served its purpose until 1973, when it burned down. In 1982 the present Kozubová hut was put into operation in its place. The chapel with an 18-metre high lookout tower is now owned by the church. Previously, it was accessible only a few times a year during church events. Since 2006 it has been possible to request access from the operator of the Kozubová chalet. There is a yellow hiking trail from Milíkov to the summit. Other ascent routes lead from Košařisk and Dolní Lomná. The Kozubová hut can be reached by car, but only with a permit. The tower offers a view only in the northern and eastern direction of the Czech-Slovak-Polish border area, in other directions the view is covered by the surrounding trees.

Historie
trukciou. Osídlenie tu pokračovalo aj v rímskej fáze púchovskej kultúry. Na ploche sa našla typická laténska keramika, vrátane maľovaných nádob, železné spony, náradie. Z 19. storočia pochádzajú tri zlaté keltské statéry, nález bronzového ramienka na váhy naznačuje možnosť výroby mincí. Výnimočným nálezom je depot 40 železných predmetov datovaný do 4. storočia – do tzv. severokarpatskej skupiny neskorej doby rímskej, ktorý spolu s nálezmi keramiky dokazuje že na počiatku sťahovania národov tu jestvovalo menšie sídlisko Významné postavenie mala lokalita aj v slovanskom období, kedy tu vybudovali veľkomoravské hradisko. Železné ostrohy datujú toto osídlenie už do blatnicko-mikulčického horizontu, na prelom 8.-9. stor.
