Bolesławiec, Administrative center in Lower Silesia, Poland

The town of Bolesławiec stands along the Bóbr River, featuring numerous ceramic workshops and historical buildings throughout its medieval streets.

Established around 1190 by Bolesław I, the settlement received town rights in the 14th century and developed into a regional trade center.

The ceramic production in Bolesławiec began in the 7th century, with local artisans creating distinctive blue and white pottery patterns.

Visitors can reach Bolesławiec by train from major Polish cities or by car via the A4 motorway connecting Dresden to Wrocław.

The annual Ceramics Festival in August transforms the town into an open-air gallery where potters demonstrate traditional manufacturing techniques.
