Breslau, as the Polish city of Wrocław was called at the time, when it was part of Germany. The Centennial Hall, a
multi-purpose recreational building, is a centrally-planned structure situated on the Exhibition Grounds. The
Centennial Hall is a pioneering work of modern engineering and architecture, which exhibits an important
interchange of influences in the early 20th century, becoming a key reference in the later development of
reinforced concrete structures. Included on the UNESCO list in 2006.

The Churche of Peace in Swidnica, the largest timber-framed religious building in Europe, was built in the former Silesia in
the mid-17th century, amid the religious strife that followed the Peace of Westphalia. Constrained by the physical and
political conditions, the Churche of Peace bears testimony to the quest for religious freedom and is a rare expression of
Lutheran ideology in an idiom generally associated with the Catholic Church.

inhabited by the families of Seidlitz, Zedlitz, Hochberg and until 1945 by family of Salish. Then it was taken over by the
