The battle of Legnica (Liegnitz) has been commemorated with an exhibition arranged inside the gothic Holy Trinity and Virgin Mary Church. The church was erected at the turn of the fourteenth century on the spot where the corpse of Henryk II Pobozny (the Pious), the king of Poland who had died in the battle fought by the Polish army against the Mongols at Legnica in 1241, was found. The highlight of the exhibition is the electronically controlled mockup of the battlefield. Other exhibits include specimens of weapons used by the Poles and Mongols at that time, old drawings depicting the event, and a copy of Henryk Pobozny's tombstone.
The courtyard of the Legnica Castle is home to an exhibition of relics of the Romanesque Chapel of St Benedict and St Laurence.
