Skierniewice, Industrial and research city in Łódź Voivodeship, Poland
Skierniewice extends across the Lowicz-Blonie Plain, bordered by the Bolimow Forest to the north and the Zwierzyniecki Forest to the west.
The settlement received municipal rights in 1457 and developed into a trade center between major Polish cities Toruń and Lwów during the medieval period.
The city maintains an agricultural research institute focusing on fruit farming methods while preserving several historical churches dating from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Located halfway between Warsaw and Łódź, the city connects to major transportation routes through the Warsaw-Vienna railway line established in 1845.
The former Episcopal Palace complex includes a preserved park from the 15th century and a classicist gate constructed between 1779 and 1780.
