Discover Zebrzydowice
Accommodation in Zebrzydowice
Zebrzydowice invites you to combine a stay with cycling routes, water-based activities and architectural history. A lit promenade with a viewing point and a cycle path have been created along Ks. A. Janusza Street. This gives you a practical starting point for exploring the area: you can distinguish between the promenade and cycling as a theme without treating them as a single route. For a trip with a focus on physical activity, the main loop of the Żelazny Szlak Rowerowy is another option.

Routes and water
The main loop of the Żelazny Szlak Rowerowy, also called Železná cyklotrasa, is 55 kilometres long and passes through the municipality of Zebrzydowice. Its length is an important planning factor if you want cycling to be part of your stay. Take the 55 kilometres into account when planning your day. The viewing promenade and cycle path along Ks. A. Janusza Street are a separate point of reference, specifically tied to this street. This gives you two distinct options to consider when planning your trip: a named main loop and the routes along the street mentioned above.
Another practical point of reference for travellers interested in water is the Ośrodek Sportów Wodnych at Młyńszczok: it has two swimming pools. Alongside the routes and historic buildings, the pools give the area its own distinct appeal. When weighing up your travel interests, you can consider cycling, the viewing promenade and the swimming pools as different options, rather than focusing your stay on just one type of outing.
Palace and church: different architectural histories
The palace in Zebrzydowice was originally a defensive structure built in the Middle Ages. It took on its present form following alterations in the 18th century, and reconstruction began in 1958. These details refer to different phases: its medieval origins, the alterations and the reconstruction begun later. Those interested in architectural history can therefore not reduce the palace to a single date. This chronology makes it a distinct cultural attraction alongside opportunities for physical activity and water-based recreation.
The Church of the Assumption of Mary offers another perspective on the area’s history. The present-day brick church was built between 1774 and 1776 and consecrated in 1776. This is separate from the documented mention of the parish in Zebrzydowice, which dates back to 1335. The dates therefore refer to different things: the mention of the parish on the one hand, and the construction and consecration of the present-day church on the other. For those interested in culture, the palace and church add two distinct historical themes to the area’s nature- and activity-related attractions.
A dated folklore event
On 1 May 2026, the 32nd International Competition of Regional Folklore Groups, “ZŁOTY KŁOS” Euro-Folklor, took place at the Gminny Ośrodek Kultury in Zebrzydowice. The event is a specific example of an occasion featuring regional folklore groups. Together with the architectural history, it shows that culture in Zebrzydowice can be explored through both historic buildings and a dated folklore event.
