Frenstat, Texas

Frenstat is an unincorporated community in Burleson County, Texas, United States. It was founded in the mid 19th century by immigrants from north Moravia (in what is now part of the Czech Republic). These Moravian immigrants named their community after Frenštát pod Radhoštěm from which many originated.

The Roman Catholic Church: Our Lady of the Holy Rosary is located at Frenstat. Founded in 1885, Holy Rosary is the oldest catholic church in Burleson County. Located on the grounds of Holy Rosary is a recreation center, where dances and parties may be held. There is also a gymnasium for use by the young people of the parish, a picnic ground and Bar-B-Que pit for use during the annual parish bazaar which is held each year on the first Sunday of October. Finally, this is the site of the parish cemetery. Markers are present from the earliest days of the parish.
