What can you see at the market square?
The market square is a reference point for several of the local features described here: the wooden building with arcades stands here, as does the historic street fountain. The educational and ecology trail also starts in the square. St. Anne’s Parish Church lies southeast of the market square. This directional detail helps you locate it in relation to the square.
What does the town’s architectural history tell us?
The Neo-Gothic church in Kołaczyce was built between 1903 and 1906. Its construction period gives travelers interested in church architecture and local history a specific point of reference. The museum room tells another part of the town’s institutional history: it was set up in a former childcare facility building that had been transferred to an association. Architectural history and a building’s former use therefore offer different perspectives on the town.
What does the educational and ecology trail reveal about water?
The trail passes an old water intake dating from 1910. Its chamber consists of two parts. An open basin connects the inlet and outlet pipes and also serves as an inspection and settling basin. The second part contains sluice gates that allow water to continue flowing into the pipeline. These details make the intake’s former technical function easier to understand.
Other stops along the trail also relate to water management. A later section leads to Krajowice, where visitors can learn about modern water extraction and treatment methods. The final feature of the educational and ecology trail is the wastewater treatment plant in Kołaczyce.
