Radomsko - PKS - Buses and Buses - Transport - Attractions and Monuments

Radomsko is located in Lodz province, 90 kilometers from Lodz and 40 kilometers from Czestochowa. It is located in the western part of the Radomsko Hills in the Przedborska Upland on the Radomka River. The city has a population of nearly 46,000.

Radomsko was granted city rights as early as 1266. In the 1480s it witnessed two important conventions of the nobility. During the first, in 1382, Sigismund Luxemburg's candidacy for the Polish throne was rejected, and during the second, in 1384, Jadwiga, the younger daughter of Louis of Hungary, was elected ruler. The city was able to prosper thanks to the protection of kings and tenants - by the end of the 16th century it was a royal city of the Crown of the Polish Kingdom.

Radomsko - monuments of the city

Thanks to its long and rich history, Radomsko is full of monuments and places worth visiting. Below are the city's most interesting attractions.

Stanislaw Sankowski Regional Museum in Radomsko

This museum is housed in a 19th century eclectic town hall building and since 1970 has been collecting collections and information on life in the city area from prehistoric times to the mid-20th century. Its patron is Stanislaw Sankowski, a historian and researcher of these lands, who began collecting various relics and memorabilia after World War II and championed the commemoration of local heritage. The museum also includes a collection devoted to the history of Radomsk during World War II, located in the city jail.

The Historic Tatar Homestead

The homestead is located in Stobiecko Miejskie, one of the settlements of Radomsk that was annexed to the city in the 1970s. It was previously an independent village mentioned as early as 1266. Its name is said to derive from "one hundred bies," or one hundred Tartars brought there as captives. Within the homestead area one can find thatched huts or outbuildings. Their layout and construction is quite distinctive, which could further prove that this was a Tatar village. However, a more likely hypothesis is that the inhabitants were called Tatars because of their cultivation of buckwheat, popularly known as tartarka.

The Museum of Printing of the Kaminski Family

The museum is run by the Association for the Popularization of Knowledge of the Tradition and History of Printing. It gathers exhibits from private collections and those acquired from various printing houses. Despite the fact that the machines are worn out and no longer participate in active printing for a long time, they are still mostly in working order, which makes it possible to conduct various presentations and workshops. In addition, the collection includes reeds, matrices and other equipment needed for traditional printing, or a stapler or paper guillotine from the late 19th century.

Jewish Cemetery

This is an approximately 2-hectare cemetery from the early 19th century surrounded by a brick wall. About 2,700 tombstones remain there today, the oldest of which dates back to 1831. Several mass graves can also be found there. During World War II, many mass executions of the Jewish population took place there. In January 1943, the Germans liquidated the local ghetto and killed about 1,500 people in the cemetery.

St. John's Park

The park was built in the interwar period on the site of the former city market. It was designed by Franciszek Szanior, a well-known Polish gardener and planner, co-founder of Krasinski Garden and Ujazdowski Park, among others. The Radomka River flows through the park, and a pond with two islands can be found there. The park features a statue of St. John Nepomucen, a marina for rowboats, footbridges over the river connecting the two parts of the park, and a rich recreational infrastructure, including an outdoor gym or playground.
