Market Square and Town Hall in Pyskowice

The market square and its immediate surroundings have retained their medieval layout to this day. Today, its highlights include the 19th-century town hall, a Marian column from 1809 and a fountain from the first half of the 20th century. The Pyskowice town hall was erected in 1823 after the previous municipal government building was destroyed in a fire. Despite several repairs and renovations, as well as the wars that hit the city, the appearance of the town hall has not changed since then. Today it no longer serves as the seat of local government, but as a venue for historical and artistic exhibitions and various cultural events.

St. Nicholas Church in Pyskowice

The first mention of this church dates back to 1256, from a document by Bishop Thomas of Wroclaw. Originally a temple dedicated to St. Paul, it was dedicated to St. Nicholas from the 15th century. It was then that the wooden church was replaced by a brick one, although over the years it was not spared by fires or destruction. Only fragments of the church's medieval walls near the chancel have survived to this day, as well as the 16th-century altar of St. John Nepomucen, which survived the fire.

Pyskowice City Park

This largest park in the city is located in the former valley of the Drama River. It is worth taking a walk here and spending some time among the trees and well-kept alleys. Children or lovers of active recreation will also find dedicated infrastructure here.

Railway Heritage Park in Pyskowice

This open-air museum was established in 1998 on the site of the now-defunct wagon and locomotive depot complex at the Pyskowice railroad station. Here you can see dozens of steam and 11 diesel locomotives, as well as passenger cars, freight cars, or railroad machinery.

Baly Pyskowice

Under this enigmatic name hides a very intriguing and photogenic place in Pyskowice. Baly is a complex of post-German railroad viaducts from the 1930s and 1940s located over the Drama River. They were supposed to be part of a large railroad junction being built by the Germans in this part of Europe, but increasing losses on the fronts of World War II and the rising costs of the war derailed those plans. Over time, the residents of Pyskowice named it "bały" - from the German "bauen" meaning bridges. One of them is still used by the state railroad - the railroad to Opole runs over it. Each of the bridges has a slightly different size and shape. The largest and youngest of them - an arcade bridge made of reinforced concrete - is more than 15 meters high. Today, the place is definitely taking on a second life - climbers in particular take a liking to it, and musical events are also organized here.
