Town Hall in Tarnowskie Góry

Highlight • Monument

The present town hall in Tarnowskie Góry, which can be admired in the southern frontage of the Market Square, was built at the end of the 19th century, when the city was dynamically developing. The plot was purchased in 1894, but construction began two years later. The design was prepared by an architect from Berlin, Hermann Guth. He proposed a magnificent building in the neo-renaissance-neo-gothic style, interestingly very similar to another, realized at the same time, own project - the town hall in Jawor in Lower Silesia. The building was erected in the years 1896-98. Bricks were used for its construction, and for the facade decoration - clinker bricks, Silesian granite and sandstone.
The building has three floors, but a tall tower dominates the body. Numerous turrets, projections topped with gables, balconies and bay windows look impressive. In the front elevation, we can see a stone figure of the goshawk, which replaced the old sculpture of Prince George Hohenzollern. This building is commonly considered the most beautiful (next to Bielsko) town hall in the entire voivodeship. Originally, there were shops on the ground floor of the town hall, the office on the first floor, and the mayor's apartment on the second floor. To this day, the magnificent boarding room of the city council makes a great impression.

Tarnowskie Góry Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

The Market Square in Tarnowskie Góry was formed in the second half of the 16th century. Its shape is irregular, trapezoidal, and this is due to the fact that in the city center, the miners, that is, the dialers, conducted mining works and built houses next to the mining shafts, and not according to the established order. Two shafts in the Market Square were turned into city wells, one of which was reconstructed in the 1950s and still adorns the Market Square in its western part.

Kawaler Palace

Highlight • Castle

Świerklaniec is a small town situated in the district of Tarnowskie Góry, in the valley of the Brynica River. The history of the village and the construction of the unique palace and park complex are closely related to the Donnersmarck family. In the 1870s, Count Guido von Donnersmarck built a residence for his wife, which was called "Little Versailles" or "Silesian Versailles". Its designer was Hector Lefuel, the court architect of Napoleon III. The "Little Versailles" delighted with its splendor and technical innovations.
Thinking about the guests visiting the Donnersmarck family, in the years 1903-1906, near the "Little Versailles", another building, enchanting with its taste and modernity, was created, called the Cavalier's Palace. The Cavalier's Palace was equipped with, among others in Istrian marble floors, American "Royal" bathtubs made of one piece of earthenware, paintings by masters, etc. The main reason for its creation was the frequent visits of the Emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II, who came here to hunt. The Knight's Palace in the French neo-baroque style was designed by Ernest von Ihne, architect of Emperor Wilhelm II. The Kawalera Palace was built on a plan similar to a square. The brick facade of the building is made in two colors: red walls and white corners. In the central part of the building there is a representative, oval hall with a marble-mirror staircase. On the front of the palace there is an inscription "Memento vivere" (Remember about life), which was supposed to encourage visiting guests and bachelors (especially) to have fun.

Lake Chechło

Highlight • Lake

You can walk around the lake (5-6 km), there is an asphalted road but also small paths and in many places, you can go down to the water. Visited this place in October and it was very quiet, but inhabitants say in the summer the lake is very crowded. There were some cafés and bars around the lake.
