Pakosławice is a village in the Nysa district, being the seat of the Pakosławice municipality. It is counted among the oldest in the Nysa district. Pakosławice was founded under Polish law, which is mentioned in the "Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis" (Book of endowments of the Bishopric of Wrocław), and then transferred to Magdeburg law. The showcase of the village is the Romanesque church, whose founder was the Otmuchów Collegiate Chapter. The structure was built in 1221. Its most valuable architectural elements are the Romanesque-Gothic portal and the early Gothic vault of the chancel. A cemetery surrounded by a 16th-century wall neighbors the temple, next to which stands a penitential cross. In the village, there is also a monument to the fallen soldiers from World War I and II, as well as 18th-century chapels. Pakosławice lies on the so-called Nysa Way of St. James, opened in 2010. It is a thread, just over 100 kilometers long, of the famous pilgrimage "Camino de Santiago", meaning the Way of St. James leading to the saint's tomb in Santiago de Compostela.
