Pałac Kretzschmarów

The name of the building originates from Wilhelm Kretzschmar, a local industrialist who ordered the building. The building is in use an office for the local government since the Second World War and not open for visits.

Cerkiew św. Jana Teologa
Chełmskie podziemia kredowe
From the Middle Ages until the 19th century, Chełmistas would dig chalk out of the ground their houses stood on and then sell it. Eventually the diggings merged to create a subsidence problem in the buildings above and an extensive (15 km) labyrinth under the town. About 2 km of it are open for tourists to explore.
