Henrykow

Tucked into the Oława River valley in Lower Silesia, Henryków is a place whose character is shaped by its rural setting and Cistercian inheritance. The village is best known for Henryków Abbey, founded in 1227; its former monastery complex remains the focal point of the settlement. The abbey gave its name to the Book of Henryków, a 13th-century chronicle containing the earliest known sentence written in Polish. Fields and low wooded rises around the village place it in the quieter south-eastern part of the historic Silesian region.
