Strzelin, Administrative center in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

The city stands on the Oława river, a tributary of the Oder, covering 10.34 square kilometers with a population of 12,460 residents.

The settlement received its town rights in 1292 from Duke Bolko I the Strict, who initiated the construction of defensive walls around the settlement.

The name Strzelin comes from the Polish word strzała meaning arrow, which appears prominently on the municipal coat of arms of the city.

The town provides accommodations at Bukowy Dworek, housed in a building from 1901, and Katarzynka villa with individually designed rooms and modern amenities.

Strzelin contains Europe's deepest granite quarry, reaching 123 meters in depth and extending across 19.5 hectares of land.
