Przedbórz

The quiet market square in Przedbórz is dominated by low, small-town buildings, in which experienced seekers of traces of history will find elements that indicate its former glory.

The market square, like the entire city, was almost completely destroyed in the first days of hostilities in September 1939. The buildings in the eastern frontage and the distinctive tenement house with arcades survived. The objects that survived the turmoil of the war come from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Until 2002, uneven pavement dominated in the Przedbórz market. However, the surface has been renovated. An interesting fact is a wooden well covered with a shingle roof. It stands in the place of the municipal well that existed until the mid-19th century.

The two-story town hall against the background of the single-story buildings of a small town is distinguished by its late-Classicist elegance. It was established in the years 1826-1830. An interesting fact is a memorial plaque embedded in the western facade of the town hall. It commemorates the granting by King Władysław Jagiełło of city rights to… Łódź. This event, important for the history of the present capital of the region, took place in Przedbórz on July 29, 1423.
