Later Austrian rule and subsequent Prussian reign made the Town a Fortress which was regarded as one of the strongest in Europe. This opinion is confirmed by the fact that in 1807, Napoleon's army was besieging the town for as many as 114 days. Only the lack of relief made the Prussian army capitulate. Up to now, ca. 60% of old fortification has been preserved. Clean, ecological environment, multitude of fish in the beautiful Nysa Lake and the Nysa Kłodzka river, close vicinity of the Czech Republic and the Opawa Mountains results in the fact that the Nysa municipality is one of the most liked and the best tourist attractions in Poland.
