Miejsce Pamięci Narodowej w Łambinowicach

The National Memorial Site contains three war cemeteries, remnants of prison camps, and a central museum documenting the history of prisoner-of-war camps.

From 1870 to 1946, this location served as a series of camps, initially for French prisoners during the Franco-Prussian War, then expanding during both World Wars.

The museum preserves documents, photographs, and personal items from prisoners of different nationalities who were detained in the camps throughout multiple conflicts.

Visitors can follow the Route of Remembrance, which connects various historical points including the Old Cemetery, Soviet Cemetery, and former camp locations.

Over 300,000 prisoners from ten different armies passed through these camps during World War II, making it one of Europe's largest prisoner complexes.
