Easy hikes and walks around Malczyce

Knight's castle built before 1317.

Blue Velo is a 269 km long cycle route running along the Oder River.

In former times, there was a ferry crossing the Oder at this spot. Directly adjacent is the entrance to the old Oder harbor. A memorial stone on the main street commemorates the 1997 Oder flood. A little further along the Oder, there are several flood markers from other years.

The church appears to be open outside of normal business hours and can be visited. Built in 1903, it is a rather unusual brick building. Directly adjacent to the church are sculptures of St. Nepomuk and St. Florian, as well as a memorial plaque to Pope John Paul II.

We were told that it is the second-largest monastery in the world in terms of area. It was a good thing, as it hasn't been a monastery for more than 200 years. A foundation has preserved the exterior structure (roof, stability). Renovation is now taking place inside. The abbot's chamber and dining room are already finished, and the library is under construction. It's absolutely worth taking a guided tour of the monastery's interior. The hour and a half was very entertaining.

Cistercian monastery, one of the largest buildings of this type in the world. Impressive. Beautifully located, a bit forgotten. It is definitely worth visiting, learning about its history. Baroque pearl. The beginning of July SlotArtFestival is recommended. Even Majkel Dżekson wanted to buy this beauty 💥

Prochowice (German Parchwitz) is a country town in southwestern Poland. It is the main town of the urban and rural community of the same name in the Legnicki district of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship and is located near the Oderknie not far from the Leubus Monastery, about 40 km west of Wroclaw.

The town, located at a ford over the Katzbach on the road from Breslau to Glogau, dates back to the founding of the Liegnitz paladin Iko Mironowic in 1259. From around 1400, the town was owned by the von Zedlitz family for around 200 years. According to family tradition, Otto von Zedlitz had the previous wooden moated castle replaced by a stone building (the High House) around 1422, which, together with the tower and the northern wing of the building, forms the core of today's complex. From the 1540s, the castle was expanded into a palace. From 1562 Field Marshal Hans von Oppersdorff and Fabian von Schönaich were the owners. He had the east wing and the south gate expanded. After 1594 Parchwitz was a secondary residence of the Dukes of Legnica. In the Thirty Years' War the castle was severely damaged in 1642 and restored from 1658 under Duchess Anna Sophia von Liegnitz. After the line of dukes had ended, the castle fell to the emperor in 1675 and became the seat of a sovereign domain. After 1820 the castle was privately owned again. Count Erdmann Sylvius von Pückler had a landscape park created in 1835. In the possession of Count Kurt von Strachwitz, the castle was renovated from 1905. At the end of the Second World War the castle was damaged and later rebuilt. From 1990 the castle was privately owned and fell into disrepair. The castle was only restored after a change of ownership.
