Museums
At 11 Biskupa Jarosława Street, in the old town of Nysa next to the Jesuit church, stands the Bishops' Palace — together with the neighbouring Bishops' Court, known as the bishops' castle, it forms the most important secular heritage complex of the town. Construction began in 1620 under Bishop Karl of Habsburg and was only completed in 1729; the undertaking was initiated by Bishop Waza.
The palace follows Italian architecture and is often compared to the Roman palazzi of Costa, Ossoli and Laretane. The scale of the complex reflects the rank of its founders — church hierarchs for whom Nysa was one of their principal seats.
During World War II the palace was badly damaged; after the war it was rebuilt. Today it houses the Nysa District Museum, which runs exhibitions within the historic interiors.
Visiting hours: Tue, Thu and Fri 9:00 am–3:45 pm, Wednesday 9:00 am–5:30 pm, Sat and Sun 10:00 am–3:00 pm, closed Mondays. Right nearby, about 0.5 km away, lies the Nysa Fortress — the two monuments are easy to combine into one walking route. Museum contact: +48 77 433 20 83.
