Strzelin: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Strzelin combines striking reminders of its urban and architectural history with places where the rocks and landscape forms of the surrounding area can be seen. Particularly distinctive is the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross: it was built in the 15th century as a convent church of the Order of Poor Clares, constructed in the Gothic style from local granite, and has a cruciform layout with an extended chancel.

Those who choose Strzelin as their destination can combine their stay with the desire to rent a holiday apartment.
