Market Square in Duszniki-Zdrój
Local name: Rynek w Dusznikach-Zdróju
A charming, steeply sloping market square with a medieval architectural layout is surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque tenement houses from the 16th-19th centuries. The heart of this place is a beautiful town hall with a facade decorated with a bas-relief of the city's patron, Saint. Peter. The square also has a historic votive figure from 1725 and a pillory.
The market square is a charming place for walks, and benches with the city's coat of arms are conducive to rest. Lighting was installed in the street pavement giving an unusual effect after dark. The tenement houses in Duszniki hide many secrets. House at No. 1, formerly the inn "Under the Black Bear" hosted King Jan Kazimierz. Two plaques on the facade commemorate this fact.
The town hall building at No. 6 was erected in 1585 as a bourgeois tenement house, later adapted to the needs of the municipal authorities. House No. 9 was the property of the former mayor Paul Dengler, who at the end of the 19th century promoted Duszniki as a European spa resort. In turn, the house at the outlet of ul. Słowackiego is the oldest building in the city, dating back to the 16th century. Plaques on the walls of buildings commemorate most of the historical events.
