Romal
May 9, 2025, Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The church was built in 1982. Initially, it was just a presbytery enclosed by a wooden wall. The rest of the church was built over the next hundred years. Over the next few hundred years, it was rebuilt in the form of a pseudo-basilica, while being rebuilt after the destruction in 1428 and the fire in 1487. At that time, the tower was also added. The church was destroyed again in a fire in 1762 and rebuilt again. The interiors are covered with cross-ribbed vaults. On the north and west sides, there are two richly carved portals in the Gothic style.

The construction of the palace began in 1734. It was built in stages until the end of the 18th century. Around 1900, it was renovated and rebuilt. After the war, it was taken over by the State Agricultural Farm. There were apartments there. In the late 1980s, the palace was abandoned and fell into ruin. Today, it is tightly overgrown with trees and bushes. There is no way to even approach it or see it. Maybe in winter, when there are no leaves, there is a better chance. Next to the palace are the remains of the farm that belonged to it. The former administrator's house is still inhabited.

The church was built in 1368. In the 18th century, a sacristy was added to it, but the body of the church was not changed and presents the original, early Gothic style.

The palace in Rząśnik, located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, is the ruin of a former Baroque residence from 1734, designed by Martin Frantz. The building was once one of the most impressive residences in the Kaczawskie Mountains, but is currently in an advanced state of ruin, with only the perimeter walls and fragments of internal walls preserved. The landscape park surrounding the palace, once with pavilions and a pond, has also been destroyed.

​The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Nowy Kościół is a late Baroque temple built in the years 1749–1754 as an Evangelical house of prayer. In the 19th century, a free-standing tower was added, connected to the main stone building by an arcaded bridge. The interior is distinguished by the connection of the main altar with the pulpit, which is rarely seen in Catholic churches. The facility is located at ul. Jeleniogórska 56a in Nowy Kościół and is easily accessible by asphalt roads, making it an attractive destination for road cyclists.

Figured beehives The return of the 12 Apostles Before the Second World War, the so-called 12 Apostles from the city of Dworek (German: Höfel) near Lwówek Śląski in Lower Silesia. However, it consisted of 20 beehives which showed, in addition to the disciples of Jesus, among others a young couple, guards, women in national costumes. Before the war, the so-called 12 Apostles from the city of Dworek (German: Höfel) near Lwówek Śląski in Lower Silesia. However, it consisted of 20 beehives which showed, in addition to the disciples of Jesus, among others a young couple, guards, women in national costumes. The apiary was not the work of a single sculptor, which is easily recognizable by the differences in the representation of the individual characters. The oldest beehives are said to date from the early 17th century, but before the war in the vicinity of Lwówek Śląski. it was commonly believed that its creator was the local beekeeper Gottfried Ueberschär in the 18th century. The apiary was displayed in a long wooden shelter to protect it from the rain, the figures were hollowed in the center and the opening was covered by a board. Bees were bred here before the war. The 12 Apostles of Dworek happily survived the turmoil of the Silesian and Napoleonic wars. Unfortunately, after the Second World War, the apiary was dispersed and partially destroyed. The preserved beehives have entered the collections of several Polish museums. In June 2012, thanks to the efforts of the mayor of Lwówek Śląski, four beehives were recreated.

The church was built in 1240-1250, unfortunately it fell into disrepair in C19. Only the tower still stands tall and proud. Recently renovated by the local council, it's accessible to visitors together with the walled cemetery that surrounds the structure. The gate is open during the daylight hours (10AM-6PM in summer, until 4PM in winter).
