Bystrzyca Kłodzka occupies a steep hillside above the Nysa Kłodzka in Lower Silesia’s Kłodzko Valley, within the Sudetes near the Czech border. Its compact old centre still follows a medieval street pattern, with narrow lanes, fragments of fortifications and the Gothic parish church of St Michael the Archangel. The Water Gate recalls the town’s defensive past, while the Museum of Matchsticks is housed in a former Protestant church and documents match-making and collecting. Long associated with the historic County of Kladsko, the town retains a distinctly Central European character.
