The Province of Silesia (German: Provinz Schlesien; Polish: Prowincja Śląska; Silesian: Prowincyjŏ Ślōnskŏ) was a province of the German Kingdom of Prussia, existing from 1815 to 1919, when it was divided into the Upper and Lower Silesia provinces, and briefly again from 1938 to 1941.

It is a symbol of Gliwice. it's located far from the centre, in the north, but you can reach it by bus. It was built in the 30's, and is made entirely of wood. With height of 111,1 m it is the highest wooden construction in Europe. The terrain around it is nicely kept and there's a small museum. The tower is illuminated. It used to look nicer when it was covered in special paint, but not anymore. The radiostation is reknown for the Gliwice (Gleiwitz) provocation. Before ww2 the city belonged to Germany, but was just across the border and had a Polish minority. Hitler needed an excuse to invade Poland in 1939, so he made some provocations, staging a Polish attack, the most reknown of which is the provocation in Gliwice. Germans staged a Polish uprising and attack on the radiostation, broadcasted a message and left a dead body of a local Polish activist, earlier killed. That's why it is claimed that world war 2 started in Gliwice. Sadly, in few decades the wood will grow too old and the radiostation will fall apart, so hurry up with the visit.

Reviewed By TassieTravellers99 - Launceston, Australia
This large castle is set at the head of a beautiful park and borders the local town square. The tour was self guided with an excellent audio guide and information boards along the way. The armoury in the basement was an extensive collection over several rooms and was our personal highlight but the Mirror Room and the chambers of the prince and Daisy were also well presented. Separate to the main palace are the stables which house a couple of old coaches and an extensive photography exhibition that complimented the castle tour. The only drawbacks were the need to wear slippers for the tour and the number of security staff following your every move was excessive. Note that despite the website being silent bags of any size beyond a small handbag must be checked before entering. Well worth setting aside a couple of hours.

This evening our Poland plant manager brought us to this beautiful historical aromatic brewery. I have been to numerous brewery and none can be compared to this. This is because not only does it has a nice historical story, it also has artistic well preserved artectiture. To add on I have never come by such an aromatic brewery. The brewery guide is professional and very patience with us. He shared the process and the history. We also get to see the old and modern automatic brewery. Furthermore watched a 3D show too and finally got a 14day brew drink. Oh my god, it taste so nice. If you love beer, you must go for this. It will be best to visit during daytime so that you can see the gorgeous building better and the train and trail. Dont miss it.
