A beautiful church, rebuilt in the 1990s, worth seeing

The quite nice collegiate church was built in the 12th century. The advantage is that it is heated

A beautiful building. You notice it even from the highway, just passing by.

The Roman Catholic Church is one of the few attractions of Wolin, one of the oldest Polish cities.

A gothic church, rebuilt after the war damages relatively not long ago, in the '90s of the twentieth century. It is worth seeing because this place is connected with the history of the Christianization of these lands. Nice stained glass windows in the windows, unfortunately the decor is already contemporary. There is no main altar, characteristic of this type of building. You can enter the galleries.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
