Strzelin

Strzelin combines a compact historic centre with the working character of a granite-mining town in a way that reflects its position on the Oława River in Lower Silesia. Its large granite quarry has long shaped the local economy and identity, with Strzelin granite used in construction beyond the town itself. The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and the Town Hall tower are prominent reminders of its older urban fabric. Strzelin’s history is also tied to Silesia, a region whose political affiliations changed repeatedly over the centuries. South of Wrocław, the town sits amid the farmland, smaller settlements and industrial heritage of this part of Poland.
