Piwnica Swidnicka | The 700 years old operating restaurant in Europe

Piwnica Swidnicka is the oldest restaurant in Europe. For seven hundred years, it has been receiving visitors from the building of the town hall of the Polish city of Wroclaw.

The institution opened in the 13th century, and got its name from the beer from the city of Świdnica, which was originally served here. Frederic Chopin, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche and other famous personalities once dined in these spacious rooms. Despite the bombing of 1945, the restaurant has been perfectly preserved. Let's take a look at the famous underground pub together.

The oldest operating restaurant in Europe is located in Poland and is already 700 years old

The oldest restaurant in Europe is located in Wroclaw, the capital of Lower Silesia, one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland. Pivnica widnicka is located in the basement of the town hall and has been receiving visitors since 1273. Today it is one of the main local attractions.

As many as nine halls of this institution with a total area of ​​900 sq. m meet the guests with the famous, sung in verse, intoxicating beer "Shepts". Beer is the main asset of this place, although in any other atmosphere it will be perceived completely differently.

The halls are decorated with carved wooden furniture, vaulted ceilings and paintings on the walls, like a medieval refectory.

The oldest restaurant in Europe for 700 years has hardly changed its original appearance. It seems as if the time machine has worked and you are in the XIII century.

The basement is directly connected by an underground passage to the brewery. The beer that was brewed in this cellar was highly prized by the locals and sold for export to nearby Hungary.

Beer is brewed here according to those old recipes to this day. The prices are appropriate.
