Racibórz, Medieval city center in Racibórz, Poland
Located in southern Poland at 200 meters elevation, Racibórz sits along the upper Oder River near the Czech Republic border.
The city received municipal rights in 1217 under Duke Mieszko of Opole and served as the first capital of Upper Silesia in 1172.
The Gothic St. Nicholas Cathedral and reconstructed Racibórz Castle demonstrate the architectural evolution through Polish, German, and Habsburg influences.
The central market square functions as a transportation hub with regular bus and train connections to major cities in the Silesian region.
The Racibórz Dolny reservoir, completed in 2020, represents one of Poland's largest flood control systems on the Oder River.
