      The Adam Mickiewicz Theatre is situated on the site of the former parish church built at the end of the 13th century and destroyed by fire in 1789. The church was not rebuilt and army barracks were later erected in its place. The Viennese Art Nouveau theatre, built in 1910, was designed by the Viennese architects Felner and Helmer, renowned throughout Europe. It has a rotating stage, orchestra pit and a three-tier auditorium seating 630. The interior is very highly decorated and the exterior features many similarities to Austrian architecture: the entrance and stairway are identical to the Volkstheater in Vienna and the theatre house house has it’s equivalent in the theatre in Klagenfurt.
      It was renamed the Adam Mickiewicz Theatre after the Second World War. The Theatre is a centre offering a wide range of cultural and artistic events, either organised locally or performed by invited artists. These include; theatre productions, musical theatre, opera, operetta, ballet, folk singing and dancing, recitals, concerts, cabaret.
