Things to do in Tworków: the ruined Wiskota palace, a crypt beneath a late 17th-century church, a woodland church and a clinker-brick mill from 1914.
Tworków in the Racibórz county has a longer past than its size suggests: the first mention of a church dates from 1339. The four places form an easy stroll, and each comes from a different era.
In 1557 Kasper Wiskota von Wodnik bought the estate and in 1567 raised a family seat on the site of a medieval stronghold. After the Lichnowski family enlarged it in 1621-1637, the building lasted until the fires of 1931 and 1945. The palace is a registered monument, has belonged to the Krzyżanowice municipality since 2004, and its surviving tower stands next to the park.
After the fire of 2 May 1676 the parish made do with a temporary building for some years, and in 1691-1694 the Church of Saints Peter and Paul rose at Główna 17. The Reisswitz family rests beneath it. A wooden church of 1303 preceded St Urban's Church of 1779; a tower was added in 1869 and the building was renovated in 2007.
Watermills have stood at Młyńska 7 since 1703. The present mill of 1914 was driven by a turbine, a combustion engine joined it in 1927 and an electric one in 1948. Grain is still ground here.
Kasper Wiskota von Wodnik bought the estate in 1557 and began or completed the palace in 1567.
Roughly two kilometres outside the village, among trees near the Czech frontier.
