Monuments in Jastrzębie-Zdrój include the former spa buildings, a late-Renaissance manor in Bzie and a neoclassical palace in Borynia.
The city is linked with coal, yet it also keeps landmarks from far earlier times: a manor from the early 1600s, an eighteenth-century palace and a spa from the 1860s. They reward a calm solo visit, with an eye on the architecture.
What is left of the spa in Jastrzębie-Zdrój?
The Spa Complex on the Zdrój estate comprises the buildings of an old bathing and drinking facility, listed as a monument in 1993. The earliest parts date from 1861-1862, when the pump room and the Spa House were built. Medical activity ended in 1994 and the buildings took on new uses. A separate article tells the story of the town as a resort and of the Jastrzębie agreements.
Which manors and palaces stand in the city's districts?
The fortified manor in Bzie at Klubowa 2 was built around 1605 in the late Renaissance style. A landscape park surrounds it, and today it houses a nursery school and a health centre. In Borynia stands the palace at Zamkowa 5, neoclassical, from the later eighteenth century, now a hotel with a restaurant. An oak more than 300 years old grows in its park. Other addresses are gathered under things to do in the city, and comparable sites in the region in the category monuments in Silesia.
