In 1888-1892 a hospital was built with the funds from the Protestant community. It took the form of a few pavillions surrounded by a park with many interesting specimens of trees and bushes. It still functions today as Szpital Śląski (The Silesian Hospital). The hospital park was planted and extended in stages, probably with the intention to create a collection of many rare species and sub-species of trees and bushes. Today the Silesian Hospital consists of several buildings and pavillions, built at different times, around which squares and lawns were demarcated. Altogether they form a very interesting park of outstanding dendrological and natural value. Despite the many changes that the park has undergone, the original arrangement has, to a large extent, remained the same. Among numerous valuable specimens of trees and bushes the most outstanding are: field elm (Ulmus minor), European beech copper-leaf sub-variety (Fagus sylvatica “Cuprea”), Turkey oaks (Quercus cerris), Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), and a whitebeam (Sorbus aria). All these are ‘monuments of nature’. The following are also worth noting: European beech purple-leaf sub-variety(Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea), a durmast, yew–trees, a hemlock-spruce, sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus “Leopoldii”), poplar trees (Populus candicans), lime-trees (Tilia americana), larch trees (Larix kaempferi), stone pines, a yew-tree (Taxus cuspidata) and a ginkgo.
