The Wielisławskie Organ is an exposure of rhyolite rocks with a unique pillar structure on the slope of the Wielisławka mountain (375 m above sea level), located in the village of Sędziszów. This geologically unique rock formation is also a natural monument.
The characteristic structure that characterizes Wielisławskie organs, took the form of a pillar blow during the cooling of the magma in the volcanic vent. The vertical rocks located here have diameters of approx. 20 - 30 cm and occur in four or five-fold columns.
From the mid-16th century to the 19th century, mining works were carried out on the slopes of Wielisławka, due to the presence of polymetallic ores, the remains of which are heaps, shafts and excavations. At the top of the hill, in the Middle Ages, there was supposed to be a small castle, after which fragments of walls built of limestone rocks are now left. With a mountain Wielisławskie organs legend is associated. Apparently, the retreating German army in 1945 was supposed to hide the so-called The gold of Wrocław. This undiscovered treasure was supposed to be the contents of all banks and valuables belonging to the inhabitants of the vicinity of pre-war Wrocław. Although the search was carried out both inside the hill and in the vicinity, the treasure could not be found.
