Sławięcice was until 1945 the center of the princes Hohenlohe-Ohringen, a rich family of Silesian industrialists. The prince's income from mines and zinc steelworks belong to one of the largest in this industry in the world. The industrial empire management center was located in the late-Classicistic palace of Sławięcice, built in 1827. The residence stood in the middle of a extensive landscape park, whose green space was divided by Kłodnica waters. The entire palace and park complex suffered severely during the fighting in January 1945. The ruined palace a few years later consumed a fire. With the passing of time, the walls were also dismanted.

Built in the years 1805-1829, the Montalembert Tower was one of the stages in the creation of the Koźle Fortress. It was one of its furthest points in accordance with the assumptions of the French Marquis, the creator of the polygonal fortification system - Marc Renego de Montalembert - who believed that the increase in artillery requires forwarding their own guns to prevent the opponent from firing the core of the fortress. That's where one of her names came from - the Montalembert Tower.

JAKUBY

’’Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the road less traveled by.” There are many roads, many destinations, which we can choose and a lot of events in which we can take part. Why not choose something less known? Why not choose another road? GET TO KNOW JAKUBY!

What is it? Jakuby or The Old Town Festival is a cultural and entertaining event in a form of a fair trade.

Where is it? Jakuby takes place in the area of Przedmieście Nyskie in Zgorzelec.

When is it? It takes place year by year on every last weekend of August.

Where does the name Jakuby originate from?

The name of the festival relates to Jakob Bhme, who was a well known shoemaker and philosopher. Przedmieście Nyskie is the place where he lived and worked.

What was the reason for organising this festival?

The reason for organising Jakuby was to rebuild the Old Town Bridge, which connects the Polish and German banks of the Lusatian Neisse.

How does Jakuby look like? And what is the Altstadtfest?

At Jakuby everyone can find something for yourself. There are historical shows and workshops. Participants can join a historical parade or see a knightly tournament. For children, but not only for them,  there are organised a lot of funny performances, for example a puppet theatre, some animations and historical workshops. As we walk along the street of Przedmieście Nyskie we can see street artists‘ perfomances or take a picture with stilt-walkers. For those who want to get to know more about philosophy, there are philosophical workshops available, where people can listen to a short lecture and take part in quizzes. Great lovers of music and dance can also find here something for themselves. Near the Old Town Bridge one can find a stage where different bands perform. There is also a polish-german dance workshop where people can learn specific dances of each country. Fans of art can come across numerous products made by handicraftsmen. It is definitely worthy for food lovers to visit the festival. At each and every corner visitors have an opportunity to taste some local specialities, like for example Polish Oscypek. There are also some exciting tournaments such as the championship in throwing of the shoe of Jakub Bohme.

HAVE FUN AT JAKUBY but also VISIT ALTSTADTFEST!

When on the polish side Jakuby is held, Goerlitz has its own Altstadtfest. This festival is organised in the neighbouring city of Goerlitz, which is the city on the German bank of Lustian Neisse. This event is much older than Jakuby. It takes place in the Old Town Lower Square and the Upper Square in Goerlitz and similarly to Jakuby offers a full range of attractions. There are street jugglers‘ performances, historical fairs or a big stage (bigger than Jakuby’s stage) where people present their vocal talents. But I personally think that the biggest attraction is the Devil’s Wheel which gives people the opportunity to look at these two cities from above.

 

Jakub’s meetings with philosophy.

Jakuby became a tradition of promoting work of Jakob Bohme and Jakob Bohme himself. The idea behind the meetings organised at his house was to enhance in general the knowledge about philosophy. Nowadays participans can also get to know more about Bohme and his believes. They have a chance to listen to lectures given by  famous guests such as professor Jacek Hołówka (in 2009).

Who is Jakob Bohme? What did he do?

Jakob Bohme (1575-1624) - a famous German philosopher , mystic and shoemaker. He was born at Alt Seidenberg (now Stary Zawidów in Poland) in Upper Lusatia. In 1599 he settled down in Goerlitz and started to work as a shoemaker. He had only a rudimentary education. During his life he experienced mystical visions. The main aspects of his works were the nature of sin, evil and redemption. His most important works are Predestination, Great Mystery and The Way of Christ. He is called Philosophus Teutonicus because of the fact that he was the first, who wrote in German and not in Latin. There were some accusations that he wasn’t the author of all his writings, but these have never been confirmed.

On 7 January 2006 Zgorzelec and Goerliz were visited by a famous actor Nicolas Cage, who came to see the home town of Jakob Bohme.

Important information!

Car parks

During Jakuby there is a traffic ban on the following streets: Daszyńskiego St., Wrocławska St., Struga St., Scultetusa St., Nowowiejska St., Szkolna St.

     On jakuby.eu/pl/ you can find more information about the festival. There you can also find information about accomodation and restaurants in the nearby. I personally recommend Susharnia and its dessert called Biała Orchidea. It’s a fruity version of sushi. Fruits are wrapped in rice and covered in sweet coconut cream. They are served with vanilla sauce. On the webside one can also find out how to get to Zgorzelec/Goerlitz. If you have any guestions, you can go to Tourist Information which is open from Monday to Sunday on Daszyśskiego 12 Street.

VERY IMPORTANT! Every year the program of Jakuby is different and you can always see on the webside what attraction are planned for the next year.

Ecotourism?

Entrepreneurs, craftmen, traders and artists are invited to take part in Jakuby. Organisers are willing to promote handcrafts and the culture of the region.

’’Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the road less traveled by.” So take another road, take part in Jakuby where two nations and cultures meet and do not let the quote which comes from The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost be forgotten.

Hi Everyone !

I’m writing this post to tell you something more about the Castle and the Museum of the Silesian Piasts in Brzeg. I have learned many times that such small cities, often poorly known or unknown, are real gems when it comes to history, architecture or interesting places. In this small town there is an object that in 2013 in the National Geographic plebiscite was considered as one of the 7 new wonders of Poland! The Silesian Piast Castle is called the "Silesian Wawel".

http://zamek.brzeg.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/zamkek-brzeg-wspolczesnie-galeria-4.jpg

Who are these ''Silesian Piasts''?

As we remember, the Piast Dynasty is the first house that once ruled Poland. There was no democracy then, so one of the sons of the deceased ruler come into power. Mieszko I, Bolesław Chrobry or Bolesław Krzywousty come from the dynasty of the Piasts.

Bolesław Krzywousty, who divided Poland into individual districts, so that each of his sons would receive their principality. And so, Władysław II Wygnaniec, who received Silesia from his father, initiated the Piast dynasty of Silesia.

Now, I would like to tell you the history of the Castle. The castle in Brzeg appears in the 13th century. In the Middle Ages, the castle church named after St. Jadwiga Śląska was added. Anyway, Saint. Jadwiga, although of German origin, belongs to the Piasts of Silesia family. The mentioned church eventually became the burial place of the Dukes of Brzeg-Legnica. The current form of the castle was created in the 16th century, when the princes Frederick II and his son Georg II rebuilt the castle in the Renaissance style. At that time, an entrance gate was created.

http://zamek.brzeg.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/zamkek-brzeg-wspolczesnie-galeria-26.jpg

It was created during the reconstruction of the castle in the sixteenth century. At the top there is the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Poland. This sign shows that although local Silesian princes did not formally belong to the Kingdom of Poland, they still felt strongly attached to it. This is also confirmed by the sculptures: in the next rows we have Polish rulers, and lower Silesian princes. We will find there the legendary Mieszko I, Bolesław Chrobry or Henry the Bearded.

http://zamek.brzeg.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/zamkek-brzeg-wspolczesnie-galeria-38.jpg

In 1675, after the death of the last representative of the Piast dynasty, the castle passed into the possession of the Austrian state. During the bombing of the Brzeg by the Prussian army, the monument was significantly destroyed.

http://www.psur.pl/ra/brzeg_zamek_1930.jpg

The Prussians used it as warehouses. In the twentieth century warehouses were finally closed down. At present, here is the Museum of Silesian Piasts.

The legend of the Castle

By the time the midnight hits the clock, the full moon appears in the sky, then the quiet howling of the dog comes from the side of the courtyard. In the glow of the fullness, on the wall you can see a shadow moving quickly. In the castle's courtyard, the dog's spirit takes place, which was the beloved favorite of Prince George II Piast. Rumor has it that this gentleman was a great lover of horses and dogs. He had a dog he brought up from a puppy, and the dog accord attachment to his lord. It was enough that the prince left, and the dog was sad, did not want to eat, and lay motionless for hours. Once upon a time Georg II went hunting and he did not come back for some time. The dog suddenly heard the voice of the master returning from the hunt and in joy, jumped through the balustrade into the courtyard and fell so unhappily that it broke its bones and died. The prince lamented long and instructed to carve a statue of his pupil and set at the entrance to the bedroom where the dog liked to stay.

Museum at the castle – sightseeing

The museum presents a rich permanent exhibition including family trees, documents and magazines from a few centuries ago, and above all a large collection of sarcophagi from the Piasts of Silesia.

On each of the sarcophagi is a sculpture of a given person, and with various interesting details, for example Henryk Pobożny has a Mongolian warrior under his feet (a reference to the Battle of Legnica).
