Introducing Nysa
For centuries Nysa (ni-sah) was one of the most important religious centres in Silesia. In the 17th century it became a seat of the Catholic bishops, who were in flight from newly ‘Reformed’ Wrocław. The bishops soon made Nysa a bastion of the Counter-Reformation; so strong was their hold that the town came to be known as the Silesian Rome.

Around 80% of Nysa’s buildings were destroyed during fierce battles in 1945, and some of the postwar reconstruction leaves a lot to be desired in aesthetic terms. Visit Nysa for the dramatic cathedral, the little-big town vibe and one unique hotel.
