Pokój, Village in Opole Voivodeship, Poland

Located in Namysłów County, Pokój sits 29 kilometers north of Opole, with streets forming a radial pattern from its central point.

Duke Charles Christian Erdmann established a hunting lodge in 1748, leading to the settlement's foundation in 1763 under the name Carlsruhe.

The local Sophia's Church, completed in 1775, demonstrates the Baroque architectural style that characterized religious buildings in this region of Silesia.

The village functions as an administrative center for Gmina Pokój, providing essential services to residents of surrounding agricultural communities.

Composer Carl Maria von Weber created two symphonies during his winter stay at the village's hunting lodge in 1806-1807.
