Steinau an der Oder, the Polish Ścinawa, is a charming jewel on the banks of the Oder and impresses with its history-steeped atmosphere in the picturesque region of Lower Silesia. The town welcomes its visitors with a peaceful flair that harmoniously combines historic buildings and the untouched nature of the Oder lowlands. Among the most significant highlights are the late Gothic town parish church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross, as well as the striking town hall tower and the well-preserved medieval town walls.
