Medieval market square
in Wodzisław Śląski
One of the largest market squares in Silesia, marked out within existing borders as early as in the year 1257. Today, the Old Town of Wodzisław and its outskirts are promenades, benches and fountains, as well as a shady park bordering the market square from the north. Beer gardens are recommended during the high season and charming restaurant squares, which are a common view over there when the weather is good. A stone’s throw from the accommodation, 3 km distance.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wodzisław Śl.
The church was designed by the architect Ludwig Schneider from Wroclaw in the neo-Gothic style. It was erected in the years 1909-1911. The height inside reaching up to the ceiling in the central nave is 14 m, and in the aisles 11 m. The line connecting the altar and the entrance to the church is not completely straight, but points slightly to the left, which symbolises Christ, who dying on the cross, bowed his head slightly. In 1983, a 4-metre painting done on wood, depicting the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was placed above the main altar.

Ruins of Tworków palace
Most remote from the selected attractions, but definitely worth going to, at about 30 minutes distance (20 km). Tworków is a village located near the city of Racibórz. The ruins of the neo-Renaissance palace have been entered in the official register of monuments of the Silesian Voivodeship. The slightly deteriorated structure and edges of the building are currently being restored by Polish and Czech monument conservators. The entire building makes a really impressive impression. We highly recommend a tourist trip to Tworków.
