It is located in the center of the Polish city of Legnica. Built in the early 16th century, it is one of the most famous Renaissance buildings in the city. It is noteworthy that the unusual name - "By the quail's nest" - was assigned to the house a couple of centuries after its construction. And everything is because of the bay window, which resembles a quail's nest. But first of all the mansion is notable for its facade, which is decorated with various frescos. In addition, some of the windows are in antique stone carved holes. In the 1990s, the building was once again restored. Now it serves as a cultural center - exhibitions are held here. At the same time the upper floor remained in private ownership (now apartments are rented there).

A complex of eight sixteenth-century three-story burghers' apartment buildings, built on the site of former herring stalls (hence the name). The buildings are located in the center of the Polish city of Legnica, in the vicinity of the Old Town Hall. Four of them were built in the Renaissance style, the other four in the classical style. Such architectural diversity is due to the numerous reconstructions to which these houses have been subjected over the centuries.

The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is located in the Old Town. The first references to it date back to the 13th century. A century later, the church underwent a complete remodeling. Thus, the building was extended on the western and eastern sides, and the arches of the main aisle were reconstructed. In the 15th century, a chapel was added to the building. During its centuries-long history, the temple has undergone a number of transformations. The last reconstruction took place in the late 19th century, when the facade of the church was reconstructed in the Neo-Gothic style, and the southern tower was added. The status of the church was only recently, in 1992, by the then Pope John Paul II, who was widely revered in Poland. As a sign of this event, a statue of this pope is erected in front of the temple.

Medieval tower located in the historic center of the Polish city of Legnica. Currently it is used as a low-cost hotel. Chojnowska Tower was built in the fifteenth century as part of the fortifications surrounding the city. It performed purely defensive functions, as a platform for observing the surroundings. During its century-long history the building was reconstructed several times. During the last one - in 1963 - a double row of windows was added, and rooms adapted for sleeping were created on some floors. Thus the city authorities started the inn period of the tower. Nonetheless, the Gothic facade of the Chojnova Tower and the window openings remained in their original shape.
