WOP post in Cieszyn, Border control post in Cieszyn, Poland.
The Border Protection Forces installation monitored cross-border movements between Poland and Czechoslovakia from its position at Wojska Polskiego Street in Cieszyn.
The post began operations in 1945 after World War II and continued its border protection duties until the dissolution of Border Protection Forces in 1991.
The post reflected the changing dynamics between Polish and Czech communities, managing daily interactions between populations on both sides of the border.
Located at coordinates 49.74°N and 18.63°E, the former border control building remains accessible to visitors interested in Cold War border management structures.
The station transitioned through three distinct border configurations: the post-war boundary, the Polish-Czechoslovak border until 1992, and the Czech-Polish border until 2002.
