Olesno - a city in Opolskie Voivodeship in Olesno County. It is a small town with a population of about 10tys people. From the bus stop located on Sądowa Street next to the bus station it is about 900 meters. Going in the direction of the center we can walk along the modernized promenade. On this promenade we can encounter fountains, many benches and a playground for children. Being at the end, we will notice the parish church of Corpus Christi. It was built in 1913 on the site of an old wooden church.
Walking towards the center we will encounter a market square with a modern fountain in the middle. On the square itself we can see the statue of John Nepomucen from 1753 and the Marian Column, which was erected in 1697 by the citizens of Olesno. The next thing that strikes the eye is the Town Hall. It has a characteristic six-column portico. Near the market square there is also the Regional Museum and the Tourist Information Point. From the market square you can also see St. Michael's Church. It is the oldest temple in Olesno (the first records about it come from 1226). Then it was a wooden building; in 1374 a brick construction was built. The church survived several fires and each time it was rebuilt. Today, the Gothic elements have been preserved.
With a little free time, it is worth going to the outskirts of the city, where the indulgenced St. Anne's Church is located. It is located about 2.5 km from the city center. It is a unique monument. From a bird's eye view, the wooden church resembles a five-petalled rose, which is on the city's coat of arms. It also refers to the former name of the town - Rosenberg. It is also called "Oleska rose enchanted in wood" It belongs to the class 0 monuments, which is the highest possible class. It is usually closed, open only during church services and indulgences.
