The greatest and most moving curiosity of this place is that under the massive surface of the water (which holds as much as 65 million cubic meters) lie the sunken ruins of the former village of Domanice Małe and pre-war farms, which were displaced and razed to the ground during the construction of the reservoir between 1974 and 1986. The area is also a strictly protected nesting ground for rare water birds, and riding along the embankment, you fly perfectly between the blue, raw mirror of water and the powerful panorama of the Masyw Ślęży rising on the horizon, which from this perspective looks like a giant, lonely volcano.

The Old Town in Świdnica is an urban masterpiece and one of the most magnificent, best-preserved historical complexes in all of Poland. For centuries, Świdnica was the second most important and wealthiest city in historical Silesia after Wrocław. Świdnica merchants dominated European trade, and their biggest export hit was the iconic Świdnica beer. It was such a powerful brand that in the Middle Ages, dedicated "Świdnica Cellars" were opened (including in Wrocław, Toruń, Kraków, or Prague) to serve this exclusive drink, and severe municipal penalties were threatened for counterfeiting it. Interestingly, the urban layout of the local Market Square with its central mid-market block has survived in almost intact, medieval form, creating a unique enclave that, as one of the few in Silesia, avoided war destruction in 1945.

The Church of Peace in Świdnica was created in the mid-17th century under the terms of the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War. The most interesting aspect is the absolute, malicious conditions that the Catholic Emperor Ferdinand III Habsburg imposed on the Protestants: the church had to be built outside the city walls, exclusively from non-durable materials (wood, straw, clay, and sand), without the use of nails, and the construction could not last longer than a year Church of Peace in Świdnica. Engineer Albrecht von Säbisch, however, achieved the impossible – he erected a powerful timber-framed structure with an area of 1090 m², which accommodates up to 7500 people and, in defiance of the emperor, has stood proudly for nearly 370 years Church of Peace in Świdnica – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The interior stuns with gold-drenched Baroque splendor, multi-story galleries, and monumental paintings illustrating the Apocalypse Church of Peace in Świdnica.
