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

"Pivnica Svidnica" (Piwnica Świdnicka) — the oldest restaurant in Europe. For seven hundred years it has been receiving visitors, located in the building of the town hall of the Polish city of Wroclaw.

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

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

It seems as if a 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 appreciated by the locals and was sold for export to nearby Hungary.

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