The Museum of Silesian Uprisings in Świętochłowice

 The Museum of Silesian Uprisings in Świętochłowice was opened on October 17, 2014. The rooms are inspired by their style to the places where the fate of Upper Silesia dated. After World War I, Silesia remained outside the borders of the Republic of Poland. The Silesian Uprisings in Upper Silesia were a series of three uprisings from August 1919 to July 1921. The direct cause of the outbreak of the uprising was the massacre of miners from the “Mysłowice” mine, who demanded overdue payments. Conference of Ambassadors in Paris decided to divide Silesia in a way that would be more beneficial for Poland.  Due to the Allies’ decision, the regions of Opole, and therefore, th

e Koźle Region as well, were given to the Germans.  

Saint Anne's Mountain

 On a trip to Mount St. Anna, we saw our national heritage. St. Anny is a village in the Opole voivodeship, important for Polish history. There is a monument dedicated to the insurgents who defended their village against the Germans in the Third Silesian Uprising. There is also an amphitheater built in the 20th century, and on the top of the mountain there is a 15th-century baroque church, which is dedicated to Saint Anne.
