Facts and practical information
Castle chapel of St. Thomas Kantuary - built at the end of the 13th century, it is located in the eastern wing of Raciborz-Ostrog castle. The building was originally built in the Gothic style, however it has Baroque and Neo-Gothic elements.
In the years 1288-1416 a collegiate church was located near the chapel, which was founded by bishop Tomasz II of Wrocław. The temple was repeatedly consumed by fire, among others in 1519, 1637 or in 1858. In 1988, as a result of renovation works, the so-called Schneider's Map was found, on which the legendary tunnel leading under the Oder River was hand-drawn. In the chapel there were most probably relics of Thomas Becket or St. Stanislaus.
