It is hard to believe that in a relatively small area you can find signs of four religions. And at the same time also enjoy lots of cultural events and try the best food in Wroclaw.

It is enclosed by the streets Kazimierza Wielkiego, Św. Mikołaja, Pawła Włodkowica and Św. Antoniego. Sometimes people name the area “four temple district” or “mutual respect district” as well.

The four denominations district is only a 7 minutes walk from the Market Square away and totally worth to visit. Let us tell you why.

Churches and the Synagogue

All churches and the synagogue in the four denominations district are located very close to each other. The Polish Orthodox Church of the Birth of the Holy Mother (from the 16th century), the Roman Catholic Church of St. Anthony of Padua (from the 17th century), the Evangelical Church of God’s Providence (from the 18th century) and the White Stork Synagogue (from 1829). All of them are visible remains of the multicultural history of Wroclaw.

Food, Drinks and Nightlife

Lots of cultural Events

Wroclaw became European Capital of Culture in 2016 and still the city hosts multiple cultural events every year. For example you can join for an event called ”Summer in the White Stork Synagogue”. From July to August, the White Stork Synagogue is a place for many klezmer and Israeli music concerts.

For cinema lovers the New Horizons Cinema (Kino Nowe Horyzonty) is a must visit spot. The cinema organizes many festivals as the American Film Festival or German-themed movies. Most of the movies are screened in original languages or with English subtitles. Therefore fortunately Polish language skills are not required.

The White Stork Synagogue is at Pawła Włodkowica 7, check also their official homepage.

The New Horizons Cinema is at Kazimierza Wielkiego 19a/21, here you will find their homepage.

The Artistic Side

The Crystal Planet sculpture is a beautiful and meaningful symbol of unity in a multicultural world. It perfectly matches the four denominations district. As back in the times it was a place where Germans, Bohemians, Poles, Austrians and Jews used to live together.

A little bit more alternative is the Neon Side Gallery. In the backyard at Ruska 46c you can find a very special collection of old neon signs. Many years ago they were everywhere in the city. The Neon Side Gallery was recently renovated.
