The origins of Lubliniec date back to the 13th century. The town developed thanks to its location on the route from Krakow to Wroclaw. In the middle of the 17th century, an icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa from Jasna Góra was kept in Lubliniec, protecting it from the Swedes during the siege of the Pauline monastery.

Lubliniec - the green lungs of Silesia

Lubliniec marketplace

The layout of Lubliniec's market square and its nearest streets dates back to the Middle Ages. Today its surroundings are 18th, 19th and 20th century tenement houses. In the central place of the market is a common maple tree, which is a monument of nature. From the south, the main square in Lubliniec is connected to the Small Market (Salt Market) with a monument to Edith Stein, and from the southwest to the Quiet Square, where there are many cafes and restaurants.

Lubliniec Castle

This baroque-classical castle is the most important monument in the city. It was first mentioned in the late 14th century, although its appearance has changed significantly since then. During the Swedish Deluge, the miraculous image of Our Lady of Czestochowa was hidden there. The castle hosted King Wladyslaw IV Vasa or Casimir Pulaski. From the end of the 19th century until 1975 it housed a psychiatric hospital, and now, after restoration, it houses a hotel and restaurant.

St. Nicholas Church in Lubliniec

This church, the oldest in the city, dating back to the 16th century, was built as a Protestant temple on the site of an earlier medieval Catholic church. In 1628, Catholics took over the church and gave it the invocation of St. Nicholas, and in 1648 the chapel of St. Charles Borromeo was built in the church. The current appearance of the church is a mixture of Gothic, Baroque and Classical styles.

Museum Pro Memoria Edith Stein

This interactive museum takes an interesting look at the remarkable life story of Edith Stein, or Benedicta of the Cross, a saint of the Catholic Church and patron saint of Lubliniec. She was a German of Jewish descent, a philosopher who, before World War II, became fascinated by Christian spirituality and, against her family, joined the Carmelite order, without abandoning her Jewish identity. During the war, in 1942, she died in the gas chamber at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The museum is housed in the former townhouse of Edith Stein's grandparents.

St. Anne's Church in Lubliniec

The 17th century wooden St. Anne's Church lies on the Trail of Wooden Architecture of the Silesian Province. It was founded by the wealthy Lubliniec Cellary family as a place of prayer for their servants of the time. The interior of the church preserves the former altar, as well as 17th-century paintings and sculptures.

Lubliniec Forests

The forests near Lubliniec are protected as the Upper Liswarta River Forest Landscape Park. This green area is the largest forest area in the province, representing a remnant of the former Silesian Forest. It is inhabited by many animal species, such as roe deer, wild boar, beavers and even wolves or moose, as well as numerous species of birds, including rare ones.
