Mysłakowice, Village in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.
Mysłakowice is a village in Lower Silesian Voivodeship situated between Jelenia Góra and Karpacz, stretching along the Łomnica River through the Western Sudetes foothills. The settlement combines traditional rural buildings with a location in mountain terrain.
The area was acquired in 1831 by King Frederick William III of Prussia, who commissioned architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel to design a church. This development preceded the arrival of Protestant refugees who established their settlement in 1838.
The village retains building traditions from its founding era, with farmhouses constructed by Protestant refugees from Tyrol that continue to define its rural character today.
The village sits roughly 7 kilometers southeast of Jelenia Góra and connects to neighboring towns through regional roads. Multiple lodging options are available for visitors exploring the area.
The village church is adorned with marble columns from Pompeii, a gift from Joseph Bonaparte, King of Naples, to Frederick William III. This unusual art transfer connects the small Silesian community with ancient Roman history.
