Krzeszów, Religious village in Lower Silesia, Poland
The village contains one of the largest Baroque religious complexes in Poland, with an abbey, basilica, and multiple chapels spread across its grounds point.
Founded in 1242 by Anne of Bohemia, the Benedictine abbey gained control over 40 villages and towns before declining during the Hussite invasions.
The Abbey Church displays numerous religious artworks, frescoes, and sculptures created by Silesian artists during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Visitors can reach Krzeszów by road from Kamienna Góra, located 10 kilometers north, or from Wrocław, which is 82 kilometers northeast.
The abbey cemetery contains 400-year-old gravestones with inscriptions in German, Czech, and Polish, reflecting the region's multilingual heritage.
