Ronald Regan said it best. Government should support Freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Yes, some time ago when asked if he believes that Crucifixes are to stay in Polish schools he said “I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -- I believe what I believe is right”

Life / Best area to live in Lower Silesia, Poland? Property in a countryside. [33]
I have a property in Jelenia Gora, Boleslawiec, and a cottage near Lwowek Slaski, don't need to add much more about the area as Webkot has described it perfectly, and I do agree that this is a great area to live in.
My advice would be to look at as many properties as possible (in 5 years I have looked at over 100 properties before I've found the cottage that ticked most of the boxes), the Lwowek area has many great properties at very good prices, Jelenia Gora area is far more expensive, Boleslawiec is a pretty town but the surrounding area is not as nice as the other two.
There are many properties offered for sale, renovated or "renovators delights" both have good and bad sides, could go on for ever on the subject (or write a book), pretty much your budget would determine you choices...

In regards to flood free areas I would have a tendency to evaluate it on case to case basis, all the rivers in this area flooded at some stage, also keep in mind smaller streams as those often break their banks. Having said this, do not limit you search to the "high and dry" properties, some smaller streams have no records of ever flooding or would only flood at some point along their course (my cottage backs on to the stream but no flooding in living history).
Pretty much all the towns and villages in this area have a river or a stream going through them, so a little research and local knowledge will go a long way.
Another useful website: olx.pl a lot of private sales here.

Thank all so much for the translation, the translation has helped me enormously in grasping the history of this wonderful structure (unfortunately demolished in 1910 when the new church has been build)
Here are some pictures of the structure pre-1910
and post-1910 where it's been demolished...
