Historic sights in Racibórz include a brick castle on the Ostróg, a Renaissance prison tower, fragments of defensive walls and a Classicist court building.
Four buildings from different centuries, from medieval fortifications to a nineteenth-century courthouse. They suit a solo walk around the Old Town.
Racibórz Castle sits on the Ostróg, once an island within a loop of the Oder, and has a Gothic chapel of St Thomas, museum exhibitions, a tower with a dungeon and a castle brewery. Nearby stands the Prison Tower from around 1574, a former prison, whose image appeared on a commemorative two-zloty coin and in the town's logo.
You can trace the line of the old fortifications along the town walls: brick sections are visible near Basztowa, Drzymały, Batorego, Lecznicza and Drewniana streets. The historic court building on Nowa Street, raised in 1823-1826 to plans by Schinkel, still works as a court, so it is seen from outside. For a rest, look into the parks and nature in Racibórz or the atmospheric places; the whole town is gathered under Racibórz, and similar buildings in the region under historic sights in Silesia.
No, the building on Nowa Street still serves as the District Court, so it is viewed mainly from outside.
A Gothic chapel of St Thomas, museum exhibitions, a tower with a dungeon and a castle brewery.
