Lower Silesia, Historical region in southwestern Poland

Lower Silesia stretches along the Oder River basin, featuring numerous medieval castles, Renaissance palaces, and traditional villages between the Sudeten mountains.

The region changed hands multiple times between Poland, Bohemia, Austria, and Prussia until 1945, when it became part of Poland after World War II.

The architecture of Lower Silesia reflects centuries of Polish, German, and Czech influences, evident in religious buildings, merchant houses, and public squares.

Regular train connections link the main cities of Lower Silesia, with Wrocław serving as the primary transportation hub for access to smaller towns.

The Książ Castle near Wałbrzych contains an underground tunnel system constructed during World War II, extending through three levels beneath the structure.

Capital city: Wrocław
