Śląski Border Guard Regional Unit, Border Guard Regional Unit in Racibórz, Poland
The Śląski Border Guard Regional Unit is a security facility in Racibórz located along the Poland-Czech Republic border. It handles border inspections, immigration procedures, and monitors movement across this frontier.
The unit was established in 1991 and replaced earlier border protection forces that operated from Gliwice. This creation followed the major political changes in Eastern Europe after the Cold War ended.
The unit maintains a collection called Sala Tradycji, which displays documents and objects showing how border protection evolved in the Silesian region. Visitors can explore the stories behind the people and events that shaped this border area.
The facility can be viewed from outside, though it sits in a sensitive security area. Visitors should ask ahead about access possibilities and what rules apply when entering.
The Sala Tradycji collection displays items from different periods of border operations, including historical equipment and personal belongings of border officers. These objects tell lesser-known stories about everyday work in this frontier zone.
