The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4182569. Authority coordinates are 50.031, 24.975. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
