Szczytnicki Park

Szczytnicki Park in Wrocław, Poland is located to the east of Grunwald Square and the old Oder river, and covers approximately 10 square kilometres of land.

The land under the park was first mentioned in writing in 1204, when Henryk I the Bearded donated the village Stitnic to the monastery of St. Vincent, where shields were produced for the duke's forces.

The forest in Szczytniki was already popular among the German inhabitants of Breslau in the 18th century.

In 1783, Frederick Louis, Prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen bought the terrain and established one of the first parks on the European continent in the English style.

There is also a wooden church from the turn of the 17th century, originally in Stare Koźle.
