Olesno

Olesno is best known within Opole Voivodeship for the wooden pilgrimage Church of St Anne, a landmark of the region’s wooden sacred architecture. The town lies on the Stobrawa River in the northeastern part of the voivodeship, where Upper Silesian cultural influences meet a predominantly lowland setting. St Anne’s unusual timber form, expanded by radiating chapels, has earned it the local nickname “Olesno rose” and places it on the Wooden Architecture Route. Olesno is also the seat of its county, with a compact centre centred on the market square.
