Lower Silesia Province, Historical region in southwestern Poland
Lower Silesia is a historical region in southwestern Poland with diverse landscapes. The territory stretches from mountains in the south to flatter areas and is crossed by several rivers that shape a green and varied countryside.
The region changed hands multiple times over the centuries, first under Bohemia, then Austria, and later Prussia. After World War II it became part of Poland in 1945, with many residents leaving and new people settling there.
The region today shows traces of different cultures that have lived here for centuries. You can see this in buildings, street names, and how people use spaces and tell their stories.
The region is well connected by railways and roads, making it easy to travel between cities and to neighboring countries. If you plan to visit several places, it helps to check connections beforehand.
A special collection of castles and palaces is scattered across the valleys and plains of the region, where you find buildings from different time periods side by side. These structures tell stories from different ages and show how the land grew and transformed.
