Góra Świętej Anny (Mount St. Anne) is a village located in the Strzelce district, in the Leśnica municipality in historical Upper Silesia. Part of the village is located on the western slopes of the elevation of the same name, where stands the basilica and sanctuary with a 15th-century sculpture of St. Anne with the Virgin and Child, as well as the Franciscan monastery complex with the Paradise Square (Rajski Plac) from the 18th century. Next to the complex, there is also a Lourdes grotto and 40 Calvary chapels from the beginning of the 18th century. On the southern slope of the hill, there is an inactive nephelinite quarry, which currently constitutes the Góra Św. Anny Nature Reserve, and two limestone quarries. The eastern slope is occupied by a cemetery and the buildings of the Pilgrim's House. The first mentions of the village come from sources from the second half of the 17th century. In the mid-19th century, the town was a craft center and a market place. During the Third Silesian Uprising in 1921, Góra św. Anny was the site of fights with the Freikorps. As a result of the German offensive from the direction of Gogolin, the town was lost. These fights were commemorated by the Monument of the Insurgent Deed, authored by Xawery Dunikowski. During World War II, the Germans established a Jewish labor camp in the area of today's Museum of the Insurgent Deed. The victims of the camp were probably buried in its area. The village found itself within the borders of the Polish state after 1945.
