Wojnowice: kościelna 6: Parafia Podwyższenia Krzyża świętego
Among the places of the Silesian Voivodeship, Wojnowice stands out for its rural setting close to Poland’s border with the Czech Republic. The village belongs to the Odra River basin, in a lowland borderland where fields, farmsteads and modest residential buildings shape the settlement rather than an urban centre. A Catholic church forms an important point of local religious life, with an interior marked by an elaborate altar, carved woodwork and devotional decoration. Wojnowice is part of historic Upper Silesia, a region where Polish, Czech and German influences have met across nearby frontiers for centuries. It remains a lived-in locality that reflects the small-scale settlement and parish traditions of southern Poland.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
