Zielona Gora

Zielona Gora always had a gentle climate, which is why it was famous for growing vinegrapes and producing wine for at least 700 years. The first record about cultivating vinegrapes in this place goes back to 1314. In 1800 there were already more than 2000 vineyards, covering a total surface of 700 hectares.
But the vineyards aren’t the only interesting thing to be found in Zielona Gora. If you’re wondering what should you visit in this city, here are a few ideas:

The Church Dedicated to the Mother of God.
At the Powstancow Wielkopolskich Square there is a half-timbered church, which used to be part of the „Christ’s Garden” Lutheran Collection. This church was built between 1746 and 1748. Because of its original baroque-rococo equipment from the mid-18th century it is the most precious monumental temple in Zielona Gora.
