a town hall with a clock tower in the middle of the market square, on an 18th-century original, rebuilt in 1905
Historic sights in Sławków: a wooden inn with arcades, the ruins of the Kraków bishops' castle, the town hall and a brick synagogue.
Four buildings in a small town in the north of the Dąbrowa Basin. An hour's walk from the market square is enough to see them all.
Everything begins on the market square. Rynek 2 is the address of the Sławków Inn (Austeria), an eighteenth-century timber tavern with arcades on six round stone columns, listed as a monument, set on the Wooden Architecture Trail and now serving as a restaurant. The middle of the square belongs to the town hall: the first building rose in the later 1700s, and the present shape comes from a rebuild in 1905.
Beyond the square, see the ruins of the castle of the Kraków bishops from the second half of the thirteenth century: mainly fragments of walls and a tower survive. At Biskupia 10 stands the synagogue of red brick. The former house of prayer has not served worship for a long time: after the war it became a cultural centre, and now it holds a warehouse, so the building is viewed from outside; a commemorative plaque hangs nearby. Other places in town are under Sławków and among its churches and monasteries, and comparable monuments across the province are listed in historic sights in Silesia.
No, it is a warehouse, so the building is viewed from outside. A commemorative plaque hangs nearby.
In the Austeria, the wooden tavern by the square, which now serves as a restaurant.
