The city has a very interesting miniature park called "Miniuni - World of Miniatures". The area of the park opened in 2004 is 1.5 hectares. It accommodates many exact small-scale (1:25) replicas of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Here you can admire the miniature Colosseum and the Eiffel Tower, see the exact copy of Big Ben and the Tower of Pisa, as well as other outstanding attractions of world significance.
One of the main historic symbols of the city is chateau Kravaře located in the vicinity of the city. Originally, the castle dating back to the 14th century was a spectacular Gothic-style monument. The Kravaře has been repeatedly restored and rebuilt over the centuries, so its original appearance has nothing to do with the architecture we see today. The historic castle walls keep a museum, the main exhibits of which are antiquarian furniture and ancient works of art.
