Częstochowa is a city in southern Poland, located on the Warta River. It is an old town that dates back to the 11th century and is believed to have obtained status as a city in 1356. The town prospered in the 14th century, and the decades around the year 1500 was a booming time as well, since Częstochowa was allowed to charge money to cross the site’s bridge over the Warta. Later, industrialization contributed to great growth in the city.
The town plan of Częstochowa is characterized by the large square, Plac Władysława Biegańskiego, where the town hall and the city museum are located. From here, the wide and long street Aleja Najświętszej Maryi Panny goes both east and west, and it forms the central axis of the city. Near the eastern end of the street is Częstochowa’s old market square, the Rynek, and the city’s neo-Gothic cathedral. To the west, the Jasna Góra Monastery.
Jasna Góra Monastery is the most famous sight in Częstochowa. It was built and developed into a large castle with a residence to the west of the city center. The monastery is one of Poland’s largest Catholic pilgrimage sites, and visitors come here to see and pray to the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, a painting that has been attributed with several miracles over time. According to legend, the painting arrived from Jerusalem in 1384.
Jasna Góra Monastery was founded in 1382 by Pauline monks who came from Hungary. The monastery was greatly expanded over the years, and the large fortress walls and bastions were built from the 15th century to the 20th century. In the large monastery complex, you can see beautiful architecture with entrance gates, monastery buildings with, for example, a library and the particularly beautiful church. You can take a walk in the lovely park around the bastions.
Kielce is a city whose history goes back many centuries. It is not known when the city was founded, but it obtained city status in 1384. Kielce then developed with setbacks during the 17th century Polish-Swedish war. From 1795 Kielce was Austrian, and twenty years later the city became part of the Russian Empire, which lasted until the First World War.
Kielce is today a Polish city, where different cultures over time have left their cultural and architectural mark on the city, which today has around 200,000 inhabitants and several interesting sights. The old part of the city is manageable to walk with all sights within walking distance from each other. As in many other Polish cities, the market square Rynek forms the center, and it is a great place to start a tour.
Łódź is one of Poland’s largest cities, and it is a city with an exciting history. The town was known as a small village from the 14th century, and King Władysław II Jagiełło granted it city rights in 1423. However, Łódź was subject to the bishops of the area until the end of the 18th century, after which it became part of Prussia in 1793 and from 1815 a part of the Congress Poland.
However, it was the industrialization of the 19th century that really left its mark on the development and prosperity of Łódź. The industrial growth brought many new inhabitants to the city, which became one of Poland’s largest. It was textile production in particular that brought production to Łódź, and over the years factories were built, which today constitute a characteristic feature of the cityscape.
Katowice is a city located in the large Polish industrial area of Silesia. It was the large amounts of coal in the Silesian mountains that initially made Katowice a larger village when, after the Silesian War, it became Prussian in 1742. From the beginning of the 19th century, Katowice and this part of Silesia were industrialized with mining, steelworks, workshops and factories, and Katowice grew rapidly due to the industry and inflow of workers for the plants.
In the 1900s, Katowice became Polish again, and Polish soldiers arrived in the city on May 3, 1921. The local parliament was seated in Katowice, which thereby became the capital of the region. Germany annexed Katowice in 1939, and the city was under German control until liberation on January 27, 1945. Eight years later, for a period of three years, Katowice was renamed Stalinogród, the name was a tribute to the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
