Świdnica, Medieval commercial center in Lower Silesia, Poland
The city extends across both banks of the Bystrzyca River, with the central Market Square featuring Gothic and Baroque buildings surrounded by eleven parks.
Świdnica gained town status in 1250 and developed into a significant trade hub with city walls and six gates by the end of the 13th century.
The Lutheran Church of Peace, constructed in the 17th century, holds UNESCO World Heritage status and represents a remarkable example of religious architecture.
The city maintains two ice skating rinks, an outdoor facility in the Market Square and an indoor venue on Slaska Street during winter months.
During the 15th century, Świdnica contained three hundred houses with brewing rights, distributing their beer products throughout numerous European regions.
