Izba Pamiątek Regionalnych w Ząbkowicach Śląskich — Attraction in gmina Ząbkowice Śląskie

A must see place while visiting Zabkowice Slaskie. While touring the museum, we had a very personalized session with the museum host who shared the stories about the Frankenstein and it's origin. The biggest surprise was when the tour guide realized that not all of us in the group spoke Polish, so he quickly switched to English and continued telling us the very interesting history of the town. The museum host was very knowledgeable in the history and passionate to present the story. His passionate attitude, friendliness and fluency of storytelling in English made our experience very enjoyable. We were fully engaged and learnt a lot about the origin of Frankenstein and the meaning behind its creation and how the story relates to the history of the town. The set up of the displays in the museum is very easy for visitors to enjoy the walk through. The movie and the Frankenstein laboratory made it very memorable experience for us. Great host and a great place to visit for a little bit of unforgettable history while you are in Zabkowice Slaskie. The displays in the museum show history throughout the years, while some are very old others showcase the times of the recent past. Thank you again for valuable lesson on this beautiful town of Zabkowice Slaskie. Friends...

A must-see when visiting the town. Aside from the museum, there is a beautiful library building, a leaning tower and a church to see within a short...
