Księży Młyn
A 19th-century factory town built by the Scheibler family, with its red-brick workers’ housing, factory buildings and industrialist’s palace all well preserved.
Księży Młyn is a “city within a city” built in the 19th century by textile magnate Karol Scheibler. It includes a huge spinning mill (now apartments), rows of red-brick workers’ houses called “familoki,” a school, a fire station, shops and the Herbst Palace. It was a filming location for the movie “The Promised Land.” You can wander the district for free, and the workers’ houses have a small story exhibition. It pairs well with a visit to the Herbst Palace. It takes about 25 minutes by bus or on foot from the city centre.
