Among the towns of Opole Voivodeship, Paczków stands out for its remarkably intact 14th-century circuit of defensive walls, gates and towers. Often called the Polish Carcassonne, this compact historic town grew under the bishops of Wrocław and retains a fortified outline uncommon among Silesian towns. Paczków lies close to the Nysa Kłodzka River and the Paczków Reservoir, while the Czech border is only a short distance south. Its old centre rewards a slower walk, with the walls providing a clear link to the town’s medieval role on this borderland.
