Myślibórz
Located in the eastern part of the Kaczawskie Foothills, Myślibórz is best known as the “gateway” to the Myśliborski Gorge and a popular holiday destination. In the upper part of the village, in the former school building, there is an educational centre of the Chełmy Landscape Park – the Environmental Education Center “Salamandra”, which has been operating since 1997. It houses an exhibition dedicated to the Chełmy Landscape Park area, rooms and workshops for conducting educational workshops, and accommodation facilities for school groups.
On the adjacent area, there is an Animal Rehabilitation Centre. Two thematic trails start here: a nature trail to the Myślibórz Gorge and the archaeological trail “In the Footsteps of Trzebowianie,” connecting the remains of several early medieval strongholds located in the vicinity of the village. Near the Centre, along the road to Rataj, there are monument-worthy yews, and a chestnut alley accompanies the road up the Jawornik valley.
In the lower part of the village, there is a palace complex consisting of a palace, farm buildings, and remnants of a park. The palace was built between 1859 and 1861 in the style of English neo-Gothic, with two corner towers. A large stone coat of arms is displayed on the front wall. The farm buildings next to the palace, also featuring neo-Gothic elements, were constructed during the same period. The entrance gate to the complex is noteworthy. In the neighboring Myślinów, a valuable monument is the Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the 15th century, with preserved windows with tracery and a Romanesque baptismal font with ornamentation.
