Poland tourist attractions: what to see in Poland

Poland is a country with grandiosen often still original landscapes, a rich culture, and an eventful history, which demonstrates an irrepressible desire for freedom and assertiveness, which was condensed to the slogan “never damy she/we let us not get down”. This aspect of Poland is also honoured by UNESCO with its World Heritage Programme, in which the Warsaw Old Town, rebuilt after the war with infinite effort, is included in the World Heritage List. #poland #unesco #landscapes #culture #histpry #freedom

Hala Stulecia/Hala Ludowa/Centenary Hall Wroclaw

The Hala Stulecia, designed by Max Berg, was built on the occasion of the centenary of the Battle of Leipzig in 1913 in Wroclaw, today’s Wroclaw, from reinforced concrete. With its 65 metre dome radius, it was at the time the largest cupola hall in the world and a pioneer of modern architecture. #hala #stulecia #berg #wroclaw #poland #concrete #architecture

Holzkirchen in the South of Malopolska

In the low mountain range landscape in south-eastern Poland there are numerous wooden churches, some of them several centuries old, all of which were created by simple local craftsmen. Six of these churches are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Binarowa, Blizne, Debno, Haczow, Lipnica Murowana and Sekowa. #church #holzkirchen #landscape #wooden #craftsmen #poland

Peace churches

In 2002 the Peace Churches in Swidnica and Jawor were the first churches on the UNESCO list to be built by Protestant Christians for Protestant Christians. The churches were only allowed to be built outside the cities and only from wood, straw and clay. A church tower and bells were forbidden and only one year was allowed for the construction period. The Schweidnitz Peace Church, which seats 7000 people, has four wooden pores arranged on top of each other and is richly furnished in Baroque style. German graves are still preserved in the nearby cemetery. #church #swidnica #poland #jawor #peace

Malbork/Marienburg

The Marienburg is the largest medieval castle in Europe and was the high master seat of the Teutonic Order from 1309 to 1457 and the centre of its order state. The Malbork / Marienburg is a huge building that has become the stone power of the Teutonic Order at all times of the day. #malbork #marienburg #poland #medieval #castle #teutonic

Warszawa/Warsaw

Risen from ruins – if that ever applied to a city, then to Warsaw. After the Ghetto Uprising in 1943 and the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, the German occupying forces had left no stone unturned. In a national show of strength, the old town was rebuilt, and the castle also shines in its old glory. Paintings by Canaletto formed the basis for Warsaw’s reconstruction. Today, the Old Town Market Square is once again the centre of the Old Town, a tourist magnet and meeting place for the Warsaw citizens. #warszawa #poland #town #castle #paintings #reconstruction

Krakow/ Krakw

Krakow is the secret capital and the cultural centre of the country, beloved by all Poles. The Rynek Glowny / Main Market Square with its dominating cloth halls is the centre of Krakow’s Old Town. Here beats the heart of the southern Polish metropolis, which remained largely undestroyed during the war. It is particularly convenient to get to know one of the most beautiful medieval market squares in Europe and its surroundings with a horse-drawn carriage, an unmistakable Habsburg heritage. #krakow #poland #cultural #centre #market #war
