Original Bezrucova chata (Bezruc' Chalet), well known touristic chalet located on the summit of Lysá Hora (the highest peak of Moravian-Silesian Beskids range), was destroyed by devastating fire on March 11, 1978. During fire died Milan Dorociák, 3 years old son of chalet housemaid.

Bezrucova chata (Bezruc' Chalet) has rich and interesting history. The first tourists shelter was built on the Lysa Mt. summit in 1880, but the modern wooden Bezruc Chalet was constructed later, in 1934, by Club of Czech Tourists (Klub ceských turistu). Chalet was ceremonially opened for public use on December 8, 1934. Building with restaurant, 12 standard rooms and 2 hostel-rooms, designed by architect František Knobloch, was at the moment of opening the most modern touristic chalet in Beskids range equipped by central heating and electric kitchen.

Original Bezruc' Chalet was unfortunately destroyed by devastating fire on March 11, 1978. The present building built in 2012-2015 is a replica of the original one.
