Bielski Syjon, Protestant religious district in Bielsko-Biała, Poland
The district follows a horseshoe layout with a church at its center, flanked by educational buildings and historical monuments along north-south axis.
Emperor Joseph II's Toleration Patent of 1781 enabled Lutheran families to construct their buildings, leading to the establishment of Bielski Syjon in 1782.
The Martin Luther bronze statue, crafted by Franz Vogel in 1909, stands in front of the church's southern elevation as a symbol of Protestant heritage.
The site includes the church, seminary buildings, printing house Augustana, and educational facilities, all connected through pedestrian-friendly pathways.
The district features the Pastors' Well from 1934, created from a repurposed Friedländer family grave monument originally located in the old cemetery.
