Discovering Pszow, a tiny town in the heart of the Silesian Voivodeship, you may feel that you are stepping on the footsteps of time. Situated quietly in the Oder River valley, this place comes alive with history and culture, tempting tourists with the wealth of its attractions.
Undoubtedly the city's crown monument is the Minor Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its Gothic architecture, given a Baroque facelift over time, hides real treasures: the main altar from 1710, the baptismal font from three centuries ago, and the organ made thirty years after the altarpiece.
The city's most famous landmark is the Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Mentioning monuments, it is impossible to omit St. Nicholas Church. It's like reading ancient chronicles, where the 13th-century roots of this temple lead through the eras, from its Romanesque beginning to its Gothic transformations. A Romanesque portal from the 13th century, a Gothic altarpiece from the 1500s and a Baroque font from the 1700s are like pages of a magic book.
