Rybnik's coat of arms features a pike and a rare plant – the water chestnut – on a blue shield. Industry is the town's wealth, but you will also find forests, parks and lakes here, above all the Rybnik Reservoir. The town has an interesting history and the neo-Gothic Basilica of St Anthony with a tower offering a magnificent view from the height of a 30th floor.
We prepared a walk from Wolności Square and the Rybnik Land Theatre, across the Market Square with the Old Town Hall, to the Neoclassical castle and the neo-Renaissance post office, past the statue of St John of Nepomuk and the former “Świerklaniec” hotel, all the way to the basilica.
