A miraculous spring. A large plaque in the main tower entrance catches the eye: "THE MIRACLE-FOUNDED SPRING OF ST. JACOB IN JACOBÓW." To reach it, however, you must cross the sanctuary grounds and exit through the gate on the sacristy side. Head left toward the wooded area, where you'll notice steps leading down the ravine behind the sanctuary. The area is wooded and heavily overgrown, or rather, overgrown with bushes. A small square, a few benches, and the goal of our pilgrimage: the miraculous spring. It gushes at the foot of the hill on which the church stands. For centuries, the number of pilgrims to the church has been increased by those for whom St. JACOBÓW was an important additional destination. This was the case when, in the mid-14th century, King John II Casimir visited the church to discuss the future of Silesia with Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Emperor of the Holy Empire. Pilgrims from Silesia, Greater Poland, Bohemia, and Moravia came here. The water flowing from the spring was widely believed to have healing properties, particularly valued for healing wounds, improving eyesight, and treating infertility. Jakubów, with its miraculous spring, began to lose its importance as a pilgrimage destination in the mid-18th century, when Silesia fell under Prussian rule. Pilgrimages still occurred during the Second Polish Republic, but they disappeared completely after World War II. They have only returned in a grand way in recent years, but Prussian and communist barbarism deprived Jakubów of its testimonies and documents of grace.

Entrance to the Ruins of Wolnu Palace. The palace, founded by the von Unwurde family, was built in the first half of the 16th century. It later became the property of the von Kreckwitz family. In 1850, the palace was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style by von Richter. The estate changed owners several times: the Bomsdorf family, Count Kayserlink, and Henckel von Donnermarck. The last owner was Aurel von Riitberg and his wife Ilse. In February 1945, as the front was passing, the palace was plundered and burned. Since then, it has fallen into ruin.

The first town hall existed as early as 1487, but it was a partially brick building with a tower. It was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. A new Baroque-style town hall was built in its place between 1772 and 1775, funded by the Prussian King Frederick the Great. In 1816, a clock was installed in the town hall tower, which still keeps time for the residents of Polkowice today.

A beautiful, colorful market square where you can eat and relax

The palace in Jakubów was built in the 16th century for the von Unwürde family. In the mid-19th century, the palace was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. Unfortunately, the building did not survive the turmoil of war. It was destroyed by Soviet troops.

A charming route from Łagoszów Wielki through Sieroszowice to Sucha Górna and further to Polkowice and Guzice, away from cars. Beautiful hilly area next to the MTB route.

Worth seeing small old town of Polkowice (Polkwitz). Eventful history, worth seeing town hall with Protestant church. The surrounding area is characterized by copper mining. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polkowice
