The settlement of Uraz was first mentioned in 1203. At that time, Henry the Bearded assigned income from the ducal tavern in Uraz to the Cistercian nunnery. In the 13th century, there was also a castellany in a bend of the Oder near Uraz, which secured the river crossing. These two details offer different historical perspectives: the settlement’s early mention and the castellany’s role at the river crossing.

Uraz Castle also has a clearly documented building history. Following modernizations in the 15th century, it acquired the ground plan of an equilateral triangle and was surrounded by a moat. The castle is now privately owned and can be viewed from behind the fence. Plan your visit as an opportunity to see the exterior of the building, rather than as a tour of the castle interior.

The late Baroque Church of St. Michael the Archangel stands in the market square. The present building was constructed between 1750 and 1789. Next to the church is a Lourdes grotto made of fieldstones. Visitors interested in religious buildings can appreciate the church and the grotto as two distinct structures without confusing them.

Other buildings and historical traces add to the character of the market square. There is a former town hall from the late 19th century, which was used as a school after the war. A former rectory from the early 20th century has also been preserved. An Evangelical church dating from 1742 also once stood in the market square; it was destroyed in 1945. These former uses and the loss of the church are part of the square’s history, while the late Baroque church is the building that stands in the market square today.
