## About

Cieszyn is a Polish town on the Olza at the Czech border. It shares a historic urban centre with Český Těšín across the river, and its castle hill preserves a Romanesque rotunda.

## Notes

Cieszyn and Český Těšín are separate present-day municipalities. Input label 'Цешин' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local\_name is restored to the native-language form.
