About Pilczyce
Where to stay in Pilczyce
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Pilczyce is a place to stay for a purpose, not a first-time visitor's base. Pilczyce keeps only a handful of rooms. Anyone with business on this side of Wrocław gains an easy run into the centre while sleeping away from the busier core, and the district's road links make the rest of the city straightforward to reach.
Travellers set on the main sights of the Polish city usually pick a central district and treat Pilczyce as a quieter fallback.
About Pilczyce
What are the main landmarks in Pilczyce?
Pilczyce's landmarks gather around its cemetery. The Wrocław New Jewish Cemetery lies here, and within its grounds stands the Dom przedpogrzebowy z galerią, a pre-funeral hall built with its own gallery. Close by, the flat expanse of Port lotniczy Gądów Mały recalls the district's years as an airfield inside Wrocław.
These are working pieces of the city's past, not tourist set-pieces.
What is the history of Pilczyce?
Pilczyce's past is written in two places. The Wrocław New Jewish Cemetery marks the presence of a Jewish community that once buried its dead beyond the built-up city, and the Dom przedpogrzebowy z galerią still stands among the graves as part of that work. The airfield of Port lotniczy Gądów Mały gave the district a second chapter, tying this corner of Wrocław to the city's aviation past in Poland.
Grand civic monuments are not its story.
Where is Pilczyce?
Pilczyce lies inside the city of Wrocław, one of its districts rather than an independent settlement, set within the urban area of Poland.
