The best cycling routes around gmina gmina Wschowa

The castle is a bit of a misleading term, but the building is very nice and there is a cool restaurant in the courtyard.

Painted by Ukrainian artists. It was created in 12 days and financed by private donors

The first service was held on Christmas Day 1604 – the Protestants quickly converted two connected houses at the Polish Gate into a church, after previously returning the parish church to the Catholics. A single-nave building in the late Renaissance style was built, made of brick, partly of stone (the northern wall – a fragment of the defensive walls). The fires of Wschowa, especially in 1644 and again in 1685, seriously damaged the building. After one of them, the roof was rebuilt into a uniform gable roof, and annexes were built in 1720 and 1773.

It looks more impressive in real life than in the photos.

In 1982, at the initiative of Edmund Apolinarski, the then director of the breeding center, a decision was made to build a monument commemorating the bull Ilon. The author of the concrete monument is Tomasz Bończa-Ozdowski. The monument was erected in the place where a column commemorating the Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck had previously stood, which was dismantled in the 1960s. Ilon was a bull (breeding bull) of the Holstein-Friesian breed. His mother was brought from the United States to the breeding center in Osowa Sienia in the 1970s. The bull Ilon was born in Osowa Sienia and became the first stud of this breed in Poland. Thanks to his extraordinary productivity, the cattle breeding in Osowa Sień, managed by the State Agricultural Farm, grew stronger, which was a financial success and a symbol of high production of breeding material. Ilon became a real "star of the PRL".

An old stone signpost stands at a crossroads. It's a forest monument. I assume that once there were inscriptions in German on it. Wschowa was a German town until 1945.

A complex of buildings including a former Evangelical church, a tower, an Evangelical school and a pastor's building. Currently, the late Renaissance school building houses St. Anthony's bookstore. The church has not been used since 1945.

The earlier stronghold was destroyed in 1343 by the troops of Casimir the Great, and a brick castle was built in its place, which belonged to the royal estate. The first mentions of Wschowa Castle come from the 14th century. After the partitions, the castle was largely destroyed. At the beginning of the 19th century, a prison was established on the castle's foundations. In the post-war years, until 1999, a clothing factory operated in the building. In 2000, the building was adapted into a hotel and restaurant called "Zamek Królewski".
