Lower Silesia Province, Historical region in southwestern Poland

The Lower Silesia Province spans across 40,000 square kilometers, containing diverse landscapes from the Sudeten mountains to the Oder River basin.

After centuries under Bohemian, Habsburg, and Prussian rule, Lower Silesia became part of Poland in 1945 following territorial changes after World War II.

The region contains numerous medieval castles, Gothic churches, and Renaissance palaces that reflect the influence of Polish, German, and Czech architectural styles.

Modern Lower Silesia maintains extensive railway and road networks connecting major cities like Wrocław with international destinations across Central Europe.

The Jelenia Góra valley features the largest concentration of palace and castle complexes in Poland, with over thirty structures from different historical periods.
