The castle in Racibórz is one of the oldest and best documented castles in Silesia, with roots dating back to the 9th century. Situated on a river island, it was the seat of castellans, Racibórz princes and noble families for centuries. It has undergone many reconstructions, the most important of which is the Gothic chapel of St. Thomas Becket, called the pearl of Silesian Gothic.

The palace in Rzuchów is a neo-Gothic residence from 1888, located in the Racibórz district, originally belonging to Heinrich Himmel. After World War II, it served as an orphanage, and today it stands out with its restored yellow brick elevation, a tower with a spire and numerous architectural details. The facility is surrounded by a park with exotic shrubs and a 250-year-old oak - a natural monument. Access by road bike is convenient, and the palace's surroundings are conducive to peaceful relaxation. It is an interesting place for a short stop during a route through the Racibórz region.

The small palace was built in 1888 by Heinrich Himmel, who was its first owner, after whom it was taken over by Joachim von Klützow. The palace has been beautifully restored and is definitely worth a visit.

Sobieski's Oak - an over 400-year-old specimen of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) located in the Łężczok nature reserve, within the administrative borders of Racibórz. It is the thickest and oldest tree in Racibórz, the Łężczok reserve, and also one of the three oldest and most impressive trees in the landscape park called Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie. The oak got its name from the legend according to which the tree was planted to commemorate the stay of King Jan III Sobieski in those areas during the march to the relief of Vienna in 1683. It is known, however, that it is not true, because in 1683 the tree was already about 100 years old. In turn, Jan Duda, in the publication "Natural Peculiarities of Racibórz" published in 2001, writes about the application according to which the king was supposed to stop under an oak tree on his way to Vienna. The oak is part of the tradition of Sobieski trees, well-known in Upper Silesia. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C4%85b_Sobieskiego_w_%C5%81%C4%99%C5%BCczoku
