There is some nice old European architecture in Podlasie and other regions that didn't get destroyed by Second World War or got rebuilt.

Look up Branicki Palace in Bialystok and surrounding park if you didn't already or Tykocin Synagogue. St. Roch's Church in Bialystok and Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also in Bialystok. Wawel Castle in Krakow (although it's Małopolska; close to Śląsk), old castle of our kings and former capitol city. Look for some ol factories in Śląsk. Royal Castle in Warsaw is also worth a look. In Poland most fascinating architecture comes down to castles, palaces and churches, sometimes factories - like the rest of Europe. You won't find it in US.

Śląsk is really industrial. Old and new factories, active coal mines. Kinda dirty air - to the point it is visible (although barely) if you visit it after some time in more clean regions - Podlasie has the most clean air if you'll ever need this type of rest. It's sometimes called "the green lungs of Poland".

Mazowsze is all about lakes, lakes and lakes. If someone doesn't want/or can't go to the sea but needs some water or fishing/angling, that's their place. Capitol city is also there, but Mazowsze isn't a small region and it has many more rural places.
