Things to see and do Legnickie Pole

The museum is housed in a former Gothic church (with stained glass windows from Krakow, characteristic). There is a model of the famous battle, as well as various objects associated with it, with a very pleasant modern museography that recreates the issues and the disaster experienced by the Poles. The church was built on the exact spot where the body of Duke Henry the Pious, commander of the Silesian troops, crushed by the Tatars, lay.

This church is a part of the old Benedictine abbey that used to stand on this spot. It was built in the 18th century in baroque style, and its interior is beautifully decorated with frescoes. The place is normally closed outside of services, but the guard of the Battle of Legnica Museum, located right across the street, has the keys and can let you in if you ask nicely and promise to respect this religious sanctuary.
