Zlotoryja

Złotoryja straddles the Kaczawa River in Lower Silesia, where gold-bearing river deposits made it a significant medieval mining settlement. In 1211, Duke Henry the Bearded granted the town its charter, an early marker of urban development in this part of Silesia. Gold panning remains central to local tradition, while the old town includes the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Hedwig’s Church, known for its leaning tower. The Kaczawskie Foothills rise nearby, linking the town to the volcanic terrain of the Sudetes. Move on to other webcams in Lower Silesia to compare landscapes and settings around Złotoryja.
