About Wapienica
What are the main landmarks in Wapienica?
Saint Francis of Assisi church is the one entry the heritage list gives Wapienica. Everything else is ground. Nearly twenty-six square kilometres carry housing and roads instead of monuments, which is what an osiedle of this size inside Bielsko-Biała amounts to for a visitor with an afternoon.
The name itself reaches back to 1568.
What is the history of Wapienica?
Wapienica carries a founding year of 1568. Four and a half centuries separate that date from the osiedle the record describes, and almost nothing in between reaches the page: no charter story, no industry, and no line of owners, only the name holding steady. Saint Francis of Assisi church is what the heritage list found worth naming, and Bielsko-Biała counts the ground as one of its districts in the Silesian Voivodeship.
Where is Wapienica?
Wapienica takes in nearly twenty-six square kilometres inside Bielsko-Biała, in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland.
