Chełmsko Śląskie, Historical village in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

Chełmsko Śląskie sits near the Czech border, featuring a central Market Square with traditional townhouses and a Baroque Holy Family church.

The settlement, first documented in 1207, held town rights from 1289 until 1945 and contained a branch of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp during World War II.

The village maintains its textile heritage through preserved weaver houses known as the Twelve Apostles, built in 1707 for Czech artisans.

Visitors can explore traditional weaving techniques at house number 19, which functions as an active workshop selling handmade linen products.

The Twelve Apostles complex includes eleven wooden houses with characteristic arcades, positioned near a stream that weavers used for cloth processing.
