Descripción

Visit the UNESCO-listed Peace Church in Świdnica and magnificent Książ Castle on a private trip from Wrocław, with fascinating history and beautiful scenery.
Discover Two of Lower Silesia’s Hidden Treasures
Leave Wrocław behind and discover two of the most fascinating places in Lower Silesia on a private half-day or full-day trip: the remarkable Peace Church in Świdnica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the magnificent Książ Castle, one of the largest castles in Poland.
This private tour combines history, architecture, beautiful landscapes and some fascinating stories from the region. Travel comfortably in a private car and enjoy a relaxed pace without being part of a large group.
First stop: The Peace Church in Świdnica
Your journey begins in Świdnica, where you will visit one of the most extraordinary churches in Europe.
From the outside, the Peace Church may look rather modest. Step inside, however, and you will discover a spectacular Baroque interior filled with paintings, galleries and richly decorated details.
The story behind the church is just as remarkable as its appearance.
Built in the 17th century after the Peace of Westphalia, it was created under strict political and religious restrictions. The construction had to follow very unusual rules, yet the result was an enormous wooden church capable of accommodating thousands of worshippers.
Built mainly from wood, clay and straw, the church is considered one of the largest timber-framed religious buildings in Europe.
It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its outstanding historical and architectural value.
Take your time to explore the interior and discover why this seemingly simple building hides such an extraordinary story.
Continue to Książ Castle
From Świdnica, we continue to the spectacular Książ Castle, approximately 25 minutes away.
Perched dramatically on a rocky hill above the Pełcznica River and surrounded by forests, Książ is often called the “Pearl of Lower Silesia.”
It is the third-largest castle in Poland and one of the most spectacular historic residences in the region.
For more than 400 years, Książ was the home of the powerful Hochberg family, one of the wealthiest aristocratic families in Europe.
Explore the castle at your own pace and discover its magnificent interiors, terraces, gardens and viewpoints.
But Książ has another, much darker chapter in its history.
During World War II, the castle was taken over by Nazi Germany and a huge underground complex was constructed beneath it as part of a mysterious wartime project. The purpose of the tunnels remains one of the most intriguing chapters in the history of Książ.
More than just a transfer
This is a private sightseeing experience rather than simply a transfer between two attractions.
During the journey, I can share stories and interesting facts about the places we visit and the region we are travelling through.
There is no need to rush from one attraction to another. You will have time to explore, take photographs, enjoy the views and, if needed, stop for a coffee or lunch.
At the end of the tour, relax on the way back to Wrocław.
