If you're looking for a place where Silesian history meets fascinating architecture, the Regional Museum in Jawor is a great choice. Housed in a former Bernardine monastery complex dating back to the 15th century, its interiors hold real regional treasures — from prehistoric archaeological finds to Baroque goldsmith art.

Walking through the old monastery, cloisters and courtyard garden feels like stepping back in time. The hall church of Our Lady impresses with preserved wall paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries, and the whole place offers a calm atmosphere for sightseeing in any season — in summer the charming courtyard invites you to relax, while in winter the cosy interiors offer shelter from the cold.

• Jawor town centre — the museum sits within the old town, a few minutes' walk from the market square, easy route
• Reachable by car or bus from surrounding towns — Jawor lies on the region's main routes

• Permanent exhibitions: regional archaeology, traditional crafts, Jawor gingerbread, militaria, a Lower Silesian folk room, Sudeten minerals, and a gallery of Silesian sacred art
• Since 2013, visitors can also climb the tower of Jawor's Piast Castle for panoramic views of the town and surroundings
• The exhibition occupies a historic monastery complex, thoroughly renovated between 1978 and 1986

Fun fact — among the exhibits you'll find fragments of the so-called Bremen Treasure, Baroque works by local goldsmiths, and the oldest militaria date back as far as the 14th century.
