Wodzisław Śląski - Old Town Tour

Wodzisław Śląski is, would you believe, more than 750 years old – the year 1257 is regarded as the symbolic date of its founding. Its monuments include the 18th-century Dietrichstein Palace, the picturesque Market Square, the neo-Gothic Church of the Assumption with its stone penitential crosses and the Gothic former Franciscan church, now Evangelical.

We prepared a walk that begins in front of the palace, leads through the Market Square, reaches the churches – Catholic and Evangelical – passes the statue of St John of Nepomuk and the former synagogue, and returns to the starting point. The riddle of a medieval female vampire is not to be missed.

The Polish-language recordings were produced as part of the Silesian Tourist Information System.
