The Vogt's building in Bystrzyca Kłodzka has an incredibly long and complex history, with its roots reaching deep into the Middle Ages. Initially, it simultaneously served defensive and residential functions, being home to noble families. Its monumental structure – almost 30 meters high, with thick walls – is a testament to medieval power and building craftsmanship. It had four levels, and each of them had its purpose. Supplies, weapons, and city reasuries were stored on individual floors. And at the very top? At the summit, behind the battlements, guards watched over safety, looking out for threats. How many times must they have kept watch in the darkness, listening to the sounds of the night?
The Vogt's Building in Bystrzyca Kłodzka
Before you stands another extraordinary witness to the rich history of Bystrzyca Kłodzka. Though often overlooked in typical tourist guides, this very place played a crucial role in the city's former administration, serving for centuries as the seat of the Vogt's office, who held significant power and influence over the daily lives of the residents.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
STEP 1
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
STEP 2
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
STEP 3
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
STEP 4
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
