Charming little wooden church, built in 1510 in Syrynia near the Czech border. It was moved here in 1938 to form the nucleus of a heritage park, which never happened. Somehow it survived the war and was restored to use from 1956. Closed for renovation as of June 2024, without a reopening date.
Dolina Trzech Stawów
Detached north section of Forest Park. You can bathe or boat in the lake.
Built around the church, it was laid out in its present form in 1925. Multiple access points, open 24 hours. It's named for Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kościuszko (1746-1817) the dashing military commander.
Small church museum with religious artwork.
Archikatedra Chrystusa Króla
Built from 1927, but the war intervened and it was only finished in 1955. It's in brick, but faced with sandstone. The interior is fairly plain.
Biblioteka Śląska
Large modern regional library.
