WOP post in Cieszyn

WOP post in Cieszyn, Border control post in Cieszyn, Poland.

The WOP post in Cieszyn was a border guard subunit, not a single building; its first seat until autumn 1949 was Cieszyn Castle, then it moved to barracks on Parkowa Street (now Wojska Polskiego). Formed in 1945 as the 205th WOP post with 56 soldiers, it had two rifle squads, a fusilier squad, a signals squad and an economic squad.

Formed in 1945 as the 205th WOP post within the 45th Jastrzębie Zdrój sector command, it had 56 soldiers and was first housed in Cieszyn Castle until autumn 1949, when it moved to barracks on Parkowa Street. It was renumbered 211 in 1954 and became the first post of the 4th WOP Brigade in 1956. On 16 May 1991 it passed to the Beskidzki Border Guard unit, and it was disbanded on 15 October 2002.

The post's soldiers checked documents and goods at the Cieszyn–Český Těšín road and rail crossings, including the bridges over the Olza. From the 1960s to the mid-1980s metal observation towers stood in Błogocice and near Frysztacka Street. In winter, patrols checked the snow belt along the border at least twice a day on the main route.

The post was not a single building: its first seat was Cieszyn Castle until autumn 1949, then the barracks on Parkowa Street (today Wojska Polskiego). The unit was disbanded on 15 October 2002, so there is no preserved checkpoint to walk around; look for the former barracks and the metal observation towers once used in Błogocice and near Frysztacka Street.
