The town is dominated by PCC Rokita SA, one of the largest chemical plants in Poland, which underscores its economic importance. Despite its industrial character, the town has significant historical value, particularly its Baroque palace complex, once owned by the von Hoym family and surrounded by an extensive park. Its location on the Odra River features opportunities for recreation and walks. The local cuisine is typically Silesian. The easiest way to get there is from Wrocław, just 30 km away, which has good road and rail connections. The best time for a visit is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is good for exploring the riverbanks and the palace park.
