Olesnica

Oleśnica combines the calm scale of a county town with the legacy of a former ducal seat in a way that reflects its historical position in Lower Silesia. The River Oleśnica, a tributary of the Widawa, runs through a town whose centre grew around the Castle of the Dukes of Oleśnica. With medieval foundations and later Renaissance forms, the complex recalls the period when Oleśnica was the seat of its own Silesian duchy. The Gothic Basilica of St John the Apostle is another defining landmark of the old town. Rail links to Wrocław connect Oleśnica with the regional capital, while its streets retain a distinctly local pace.
