Overview

The Park Miniatur Zabytków Dolnego Śląska features over 60 scale models of historical architecture from the Lower Silesia region, primarily constructed at a 1:25 scale. Located on the site of a former carpet factory, the park meticulously recreates palaces, monasteries, and town centers found throughout the Sudetes mountains. Each model incorporates authentic construction materials like stone and wood to simulate the appearance of the original structures. Visitors walk along paved paths that mimic the geography of the surrounding Lower Silesian region. The park serves as an open-air exhibition focused on historical preservation and technical craftsmanship.

Insider tips

Plan your walk during clear weather, as all exhibits are located outdoors.

Take time to examine the landscaping surrounding each model, as the flora is often intentionally scaled to match the building.

Bring a camera with a macro lens or good zoom to capture the intricate details of the building facades.

What to avoid

Do not touch or attempt to sit on the models, as the materials are fragile and designed for visual inspection only.

Good to know

Open year-round; indoor workshops are accessible, but outdoor paths may be difficult to navigate during heavy snowfall.
