Kęty - attractions

The town has a long history, which is best seen by going to the late 14th century market square, which has undergone renovations in recent years. It is surrounded by 19th- and 20th-century townhouses, and the centerpiece is a statue depicting the town's former resident and patron saint, St. John Cantius. One of the townhouses houses the town museum, which collects old objects of daily use of the residents and other memorabilia related to Kety. While in town, it is also worth visiting the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Consolation, or the Baroque church of Saints Margaret and Catherine, as well as the small church of Saint John Kante, located next door. Kety was home to a small Jewish community as recently as 100 years ago, as evidenced by a cemetery with some 60 preserved matzevot and the remains of a former synagogue.

In addition to historical monuments, the city also offers interesting attractions. Kęty and the area around the Soła River is a great place for active recreation. In the Linden Park, created in 2014, one can combine walking or sports with learning about dendrology or beekeeping.

STRASBOURG

Strasbourg is an important point on the map of Europe, both today and in the past. This particular town was actually fought over from the beginning. Until the twelfth year of our era, the town was ruled by the Gauls, but then it was forcibly captured by Roman legionaries. They erected a fort there for crossing the Rhine. For the next five centuries the Roman Empire successfully defended itself against barbarian attacks. However, in the year five hundred, they succumbed to the Germanic tribes, who, alongside the Asiatic Huns, captured the fort and renamed it from Argentoratum, a name they did not understand, to Stratœburgus, a town on the beaten road.

From then on, the city was ruled by the Franks. Or at least until the end of the seventeenth century. Then Louis XIV annexed Strasbourg to the Kingdom of France. Of course, this was not the end of the struggle for this particular town.

The rivalry between Strasbourg and the German town of Kehl, which competed for supremacy in the region, may be proof of this. It was only years later that cooperation was established and a bridge was erected between the cities. And it existed as a symbol of cooperation until World War II. And once the rumblings of the cannons ceased, it was erected anew, with European funds and the involvement of both sides. Since then, tens of thousands of cars a day have traveled over the bridge over the Rhine!
