The best museums Opole

Located south of the Rynek, this church dates from the first half of the 14th century, but has been modified several times and was even an evangelical temple. The beautiful Gothic St. Anne's Chapel houses the mausoleum of the Opols, whose family tree is painted on the wall, who ruled the ducal capital and its principality from the 12th to the mid-16th century. Fourteen princes and duchesses of this ruling family found eternal rest here.

This 43 m high tower is the only survivor of the Piast castle. In the 20th century, the authorities of the Opole district considered the castle to be of little use and expensive to maintain and decided to demolish it. Thanks to the strong opposition of the Polish bourgeoisie in Opole and the activists of the Union of Poles in Germany, only the castle tower could be saved. Today it is surrounded by any kind of buildings, but from its top it offers a view over the city.
