Park Miniatur Zabytków Dolnego Śląska

In Kowary, castle roofs and church towers can be viewed from a perspective that would require flight at the real buildings. Models at a scale of 1 to 25 present Lower Silesian architecture: residences, monasteries, town halls and former craft workshops. The collection also includes Czech and German monuments, among them Frýdlant and Görlitz.

The park was established in 2003 on the grounds of a former carpet factory. Alongside models of individual buildings is a miniature Karkonosze mountain range with trails and mountain huts. Planting surrounds the monuments, while figures depict small scenes of everyday life. Modelmakers use techniques and materials suited to outdoor display; visitors can see how miniatures are made in the workshop.

The park’s guides tell the stories of the buildings and their legends. Norway’s Wang Church, Czocha’s remodelling and the paper mill in Duszniki connect small models with real monuments. Bach’s music accompanies the Krzeszów basilica model, and benches stand beside a pond with a fountain.
