Things to do in Gorzyce: the Larisch and d'Arco palace, a neo-Baroque hunting lodge, a neo-Gothic church and the Nautica swimming pool.
Gorzyce, in the Wodzisław district, is a village where the historic buildings gather in one palace complex. The four places on the list suit a stroll in the park and a family afternoon in the water.
The Larisch and Counts d'Arco Palace at ulica Zamkowa 2 is a Classical brick building of the eighteenth century, raised by Count Alexander von Arco. It is crowned by a tall hipped roof, with a projecting bay and pediment at the front and, on the garden side, an entrance under a terrace on four Doric columns. The whole complex is listed together with the English park.
In the same complex stands the hunting lodge, a neo-Baroque brick building of the nineteenth century, built for the coal magnate Fritz von Friedländer-Fuld to a design by William Muller. Above the entrance is a cartouche with the investor's arms. In the village centre is the Church of the Holy Guardian Angel, a neo-Gothic parish church of 1862-1869, rebuilt after the damage of 1945.
For water, there is Nautica at ulica Bogumińska 31, a municipal centre with a pool and classes such as aqua bike, aqua aerobics, swimming lessons for children and adults, and sessions for seniors.
