Market Square in Oświęcim

Highlight • Settlement

The market square in Oświęcim was designed during the medieval location of the city as a central trading point, initially surrounded by wooden buildings. At the market square, there was the seat of the city authorities and the most significant burgher houses. Currently, the market square is surrounded by brick houses, mostly from the 19th century, and there are restaurants on the slab.
In 2009, "Tęcza" - a commercial pavilion from the 1960s, built on a bunker from the Second World War, was demolished. The demolition of the "Rainbow" standing in the middle of the Market Square was a turning point, after which the revitalization of the Main Market Square began.

Church of Our Lady Help of Christians in Oświęcim

Highlight • Religious Site

The church was built in the first half of the 14th century for the Dominicans who were probably brought here by the Cieszyn prince, Mieszko. The construction of the monastery was continued by the Duke of Oświęcim Władysław and his wife Eufrozyna.
In 1594, the Dominicans transformed the existing chapter house into a chapel on the occasion of the canonization of St. Jack. It was oriented similarly to the church. In the years 1608-1610 the church was rebuilt in the Renaissance style.
After the monastery was closed down by Emperor Joseph II, it was turned into a warehouse in the first quarter of the 19th century, completely ruined. After some time, the building fell into Jewish hands and fell into ruin. In 1895, during the Corpus Christi procession, Our Lady appeared on the ruins of the church, which was an impulse for the recovery and reconstruction of the church by the Catholic community of the city of Oświęcim. On the centenary of the event, the church was recognized as the Sanctuary of Our Lady, Help of Christians.
The church was restored by the Salesians, but lost its original character - now it is neo-Gothic. The chancel was turned into a nave due to the entrance from Jagiełły Street (previously on the side of the church). Thanks to this, it is no longer oriented like the chapel (chapter house) of St. Jacek, with whom it was originally a monastery complex.

Boulevards on the Soła river

Highlight • River

The boulevards are a picturesque place for walks and rest for both city residents and tourists. They are located on the Soła River, near the Old Town.
You can rest on a bench, and for sports enthusiasts, there is an outdoor gym - a team of outdoor fitness equipment. The alleys are also used by jogging and Nordic walking enthusiasts, they are a great solution for inline skaters and cyclists. In summer, the Boulevards are full of sunbathers, and this is also due to the availability of deckchairs that appear regularly during this period. The trees growing on the boulevards are a great example of landscaping in a place of recreation, they provide shelter to animals, cool down during the heat, and give color to this place at any time of the year. Nearby you can find a footbridge, which in combination with the aforementioned vegetation is a good place for amateur and professional photo sessions. Along the main walking path, on the fence of the Salesian Institute, you can admire the cyclical Municipal Outdoor Gallery.
