Gryfów Śląski, Municipality in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Gryfów Śląski extends along the Kwisa river at an altitude of 325 meters, surrounded by the hills of southwestern Lower Silesian Voivodeship.

Duke Bolesław II the Bald granted town privileges to Gryfów Śląski in 1242, initiating a period of growth with German-speaking merchants settling in the area.

The Market Square contains medieval townhouses from the 15th to 19th centuries, including a Renaissance town hall and the St. Jadwiga Church.

The town maintains direct rail connections through the Silesian Mountain Railway line, facilitating travel between major regional centers like Wrocław and Jelenia Góra.

The ruins of Gryf Castle, owned by the House of Schaffgotsch since 1400, stand on elevated ground south of the town center.
