WOP post in Zebrzydowice, Border protection outpost in Zebrzydowice, Poland
The WOP post in Zebrzydowice was a military outpost that watched over an 11-kilometer section of the Polish-Czech border. The facility had observation towers and patrol stations positioned to monitor cross-border movements systematically.
The outpost began in 1945 as the 206th WOP post with 56 soldiers stationed there. It relocated to Zebrzydowice in 1952 and became the 213rd WOP post, operating at the border until 2003.
The post served as a meeting point where military personnel and locals gathered for shared activities and events. These connections helped bridge the two communities during the Cold War period.
The site is now accessible to visitors interested in border history and Cold War infrastructure. Check locally for any current access arrangements or guided tours that may be available.
After closing in 2003, the former military facility was transformed into a rehabilitation center serving the community. This conversion shows how Cold War structures found new purposes in peacetime.
