The city maintains four churches from the 16th and 17th centuries, with St. Stanisław's Cathedral displaying the architectural elements of the Baroque period.

The city functions as an industrial center, producing synthetic fibers, electric motors, and machinery while maintaining strong railway connections to major regional destinations.
