The White Stork Synagogue opened in 1829 and is designed in a Neoclassical style by the architect Carl Ferdinand Langhans. The synagogue was in use until 1974 when it was taken by authorities and given to the University of Wroclaw. In 2010 reconstruction on the synagogue was completed and it is now a Jewish heritage museum.
The Basilica of St. Elizabeth is a Catholic Church of Wroclaw. A Gothic spire from the 14th century was built with the completion of the church, but was rebuilt between 1531 and 1535 in a Renaissance style. There is an observation deck near the top of the church, open to the public.
