Location and history

Tourist attractions

The Renaissance-style prince's castle from the middle of the 16th century. The castle was destroyed when the town was taken in 1741 and rebuilt in 1966-1990. Especially the richly decorated building facades are considered the most valuable building art from the Renaissance period in Central Europe.
St. Mikołaj Gothic church built between 1370 and 1417.
The town hall – in the town square – in the late Renaissance style with Gothic elements from 1570-1577.
