City of the 19th Century
Łódź has many beautiful examples of 19th century architecture, so look up when walking down the streets and you’ll find all elements Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, Neo-Classicism and Art Nouveau mixed up in an eclectic manner. According to the 19th century urban planning schemes, the streets were arranged perpendicularly, so that you can find your way in the center very easily. |
City of Arts
Muzeum Sztuki (ms), founded 1931, is one of the oldest museums of modern art in the world. It possesses a unique collection of European pre-war avantgarde and works of many internationally recognised, more recent artists; Łódź avantgarde tradition was crucial for the creation of Academy of Art in 1945 and many artistic groups afterwards – it is still one of the factors making the city an important place on the art scene of contemporary Europe. City of Four CulturesSecond World War put a brutal end to the 120-year long Polish, German, Jewish, and Russian coexistence in Łódź. Nowadays, the Festival of Four Cultures is being held yearly. Exhibitions, plays, happenings and meetings promote intercultural dialogue. |
City of FestivalsOver 30 festivals take place in Łódź every year. You’ll find the best of them below. |

Capital of Culture 2016
Łódź is a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2016 and has good chances to win the title – the area of Łódź Fabryczna Station and the post-industrial quarters around it are to be rebuilt into a new city centre filled up with art; museums, theatres, cinemas, monuments, art schools, music, film, multi-ethnic heritage and numerous festivals are the strong points of Łódź! |
Juwenaliaannual student holiday in May, lasting for several days. Usually, the University, the Technical University and the Medical University organise their juwenalia separately, so that the whole party cycle can take up to two weeks. During this time you can participate in parades, concerts and music parties in campuses, clubs and pubs. People usually dress up and there are no classes. www.juwenalia.p.lodz.pl |

Chosen monumentsManufaktura – one of the largest 19th century industrial complexes in Europe, originally a canvas factory, now transformed into a commercial and cultural centre. Poznański Palace – a grand neo-baroque residence of Łódź’s biggest industrialist. Situated just next to Manufaktura. St. Joseph Church (‘Kościół św. Józefa’) – 18th century wooden church, the oldest preserved building of Łódź, moved to the current location from the Old Town. Ogrodowa St., in a backyard opposite to Manufaktura. Stary Rynek (‘Old Market’) is a remnant of medieval Łódź, even though all the houses there there are no older than 60 years. This is where the Jewish ghetto was formed during the World War II. Located next to Park Staromiejski and Manufaktura. Wolności Square (‘Plac Wolności’, ‘wolność’ = liberty) – with the statue of Tadeusz Kościuszko, is a good meeting spot; unique for its octago-nal shape, the square is where Piotrkowska Street begins. It was planned as the centre of the ‘New Town’, founded in 1821 for German weavers coming to Łódź from the neighbouring countries. Kościuszko was one of the great freedom fighters of the 18th century and national hero of Poland and the USA. White Factory (‘Biała Fabryka‘) – first steam-powered factory in the city, founded by Ludwig Geyer. Nowadays, it holds the Central Textile Museum and an open-air museum of Łódź wooden architecture in the backyard. | 282 Piotrkowska St. Księży Młyn (‘Priest’s Mill’) – well-preserved, complete industrial quarter with a factory, workers’ dwellings, hospital, school, fire station, owner’s villa, stalls and garden. In recent years the factory has been redeveloped into exclusive apartaments. The villa holds a museum presenting the luxurious 19th century interiors. Not far away, there’s the Scheibler Palace with the Cinematography Museum. Corner of Przędzalniana St. and Tymienieckiego St. Kindermann Villa - beautiful example of art nouveau style, holds a municipal art gallery. Worth a visit just for its interiors. 31/33 Wólczańska St. Jewish Cemetery – the biggest Jewish necropolis in Europe, deserted after the World War II. Countless historic graves and unique atmosphere. Entrance from Chryzantem Av., half a kilometer from the Academy. Radegast Station Memorial – commemoration place located in a small railway station; during World War II, Jews from the Łódź ghetto were sent to the death camps from here by the German Nazis. | Corner of Stalowa St. and Admiralska St., near the Jewish Cemetery.
