Lubomierz

Lubomierz is one of the smallest towns in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, featuring a preserved medieval urban layout and granted town rights in 1291. It is known for its beautiful monuments, such as Freedom Square with historic houses dating from the 15th to the 19th century and a town hall from 1449, which has undergone numerous renovations. The town center also includes a complex of Benedictine nuns' monastery buildings, including the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Fragments of medieval town walls have been preserved in Lubomierz, along with other significant sites like the Roman Catholic cemetery with St. Anne's Church and the Evangelical Church from 1852. The town is associated with a rich history, particularly known for its role as a settlement on a trade route in the 12th century and the Benedictine nuns who owned the town for many centuries. Lubomierz attracts tourists through its connections to film culture, having served as the setting for the movie "Sami Swoi" and hosting the Comedy Film Festival. The town is a venue for numerous cultural events, and in 1996, the Museum of Kargul and Pawlak was established to commemorate the local film lore. An interesting fact is that Lubomierz was home to pioneers of Polish printing. Despite experiencing upheavals, including fires and conflicts, the town has retained its charm, and its contemporary cultural and social life is rooted in traditions and the local community.
