On March 22, 1841, at 3:30 p.m., the residents of Wilkanów working in the surrounding fields heard three strong booms similar to cannon shots. The explosion could be heard for many kilometers. Immediately afterward, a loud whistle could be heard, growing from the west, and something heavy fell nearby. In a small depression, witnesses found a 30-ounce stone (about 930 g). A second, smaller specimen was found later between the villages of Heinrichau and Schloin. The Wilkanów meteorite is a geologically gray veined chondrite, currently located in the most important geological museums in the world. On the 161st anniversary of that event, a three-ton boulder with a plaque commemorating the meteorite's fall was placed on a bend in the county road in Wilkanów.
