The Krzyżowa Estate

Krzyżowa is a small village with about 200 inhabitants, situated in the heart of Lower Silesia, about 10 kilometres east of Świdnica. Centrally located in the village is what formally used to be the farmyard with its originally classicist manor house, rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. The House on the Hill (Berghaus), the family home of Helmuth James von Moltke, lies slightly apart and above the farmyard.

It was in the Berghaus that the secret meetings of the resistance group against the National Socialists, the Kreisau Circle, took place. Here the Kreisau Circle laid the conceptual foundation for European thinking as we know it nowadays. Today Krzyżowa is a symbol for the integration of the peoples of Europe. Discover the rich history of the Kreisau Circle, of Krzyżowa and Lower Silesia as well as of the importance of Krzyżowa for Poland and Europe.

The Venue: Concert Hall

The light-flooded theatre and multi-purpose hall is part of the Krzyżowa estate and serves as the main assembly and event hall of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe. Here the rehearsals and the evening concerts take place.
