Siewierz - Market Square Tour

Siewierz is a small town of five thousand inhabitants whose history is approaching a thousand years – for more than three centuries it was the capital of the Duchy of Siewierz, ruled by the bishops of Kraków. Interesting historic sites have survived here to this day: one of the oldest Romanesque churches in Poland, the townhouses on the Market Square and the ruins of the bishops' castle with a wooden drawbridge.

We prepared a walk that leads to the Market Square with the fountain of the Siewierz maidens and the outline of the former town hall, then to the church of St Matthias and the triumphal gate, and ends around the castle walls. The narrator talks about the prince-bishops, harsh laws and the legend of the Black Lady. The audio guide is available in Polish.
