Pławniowice has served as an estate village in Upper Silesia since the 14th century. It lies near the Pławniowice Reservoir and the Gliwice Canal, waterways that place it within the industrial and transport landscape west of Gliwice. The defining local monument is the Pławniowice Palace complex: Count Franz II von Ballestrem commissioned its present neo-Renaissance residence between 1882 and 1885. Its park, gatehouse and chapel preserve the setting of a major Silesian family estate. Browse other webcams across the Silesian Voivodeship to place Pławniowice in a wider geographic context.
