Don Quixote and Sancho Panza Sculptures, Jelenia Góra

Highlight • Monument

A few minutes' walk from the Jelenia Góra train station, easy to reach by bike and car, and near Żeromski High School.
Few people know this place, but it's worth seeing!
PLEASE NOTE! According to AI Google: "The sculpture 'Don Quixote and Sancho Panza' by Vahan Be in Jelenia Góra was moved in the summer of 2024 (at the beginning of August) from its previous location (near Urocza/Kochanowskiego Streets) in the city center, near the Grodzka Tower (the square next to the Norwid Theater), as part of a renovation project to place it in a more central location, emphasizing its importance in public space."

The photos I've attached are therefore of documentary value – the sculpture is now in a different location, in the center of Jelenia Góra.

Castle Gate Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

The tower is the only surviving part of the old castle gate and served as a prison for a long time. In 2011, the tower was completely modernized and is now equipped with a comfortable wooden staircase. Admission is free and very close to the new shopping center you can also park for free.

Schaffgotsch Palace Park (Pałac Schaffgotschów Park)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Schaffgotsch-Palais (Polish: Pałac Schaffgotschów) in Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój (Bad Warmbrunn), a district of Jelenia Góra (Hirschberg), is an early classical palace with an extensive palace and spa park where you can relax. Orangery and greenhouses can be visited.
After the region was incorporated into the People's Republic of Poland, the castle was initially used as a hospital. Schaffgotsch furniture and collections were removed or destroyed. From 1946 it served as a rest home for the State Council, and since 1975 it has housed a branch of the Technical University of Wroclaw.
Current condition
Today the castle has been restored and the interior has been furnished with furniture from other Silesian castles. The palace and spa gardens form a joint ensemble. The Norwegian log cabin houses a natural history museum.
