Architecture in Wielowieś means a manor house from 1748, a Baroque synagogue built in 1763-1771 and the historic Church of the Assumption.
Wielowieś lies in Gliwice County. The three monuments stand in the village centre and tell its story well: from a count's manor, through a house of prayer, to the parish church.
The manor house in Wielowieś, on Główna street, is a brick building from 1748, raised by Count Franciszek Karol de Verdugo, who came from Spain. Coats of arms survive above the gate and a coach house stands next to it. German documents call it Schloss in Langendorf.
The synagogue in Wielowieś, on Gminna street, is a brick building from 1763-1771, regarded as the oldest surviving Jewish house of prayer in Upper Silesia. Today it is not used for prayer and serves as a grain store, but it is listed as a monument. The Church of the Assumption, on Kościelna street, was begun in the 15th century and took its present shape in the rebuilding of 1934-1935.
It is not used for prayer. It is a grain store but remains listed as a monument.
