GOGOLIN

Gogolin is a small town known throughout Silesia from the popular folk song

"Poszła Karolinka do Gogolina" ("Caroline went to Gogolin"). Walking through its streets, you can feast your eyes on the beautiful Opole pattern on the giant teacup, in the background of which there is the famous statue of Karolinka and Karlik - unveiled in 1967, when Gogolin received city rights.

Sites worth visiting in the town include, among others:

The Jewish cemetery from the mid-19th century; the last burial here took place in 1935; Jewish people who died in the nearby labour camps in the years 1940-1944 were also buried here;

The mass grave of the Silesian insurgents in the Catholic cemetery;

The Evangelical church of the Augsburg Confession from 1908-09;

Lime kilns - north of the town, you can visit an interesting place with historic lime kilns over a hundred years old. It is a remnant of plants closed in the eighties. Initially, the kilns were to be demolished, but the town's authorities decided to revitalise them. Thanks to that, today they are an unusual monument of technology in the Opole region.
