Ostrów Wielkopolski, Industrial city in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
The southern area of Greater Poland contains Ostrów Wielkopolski, a city that produces machine tools, railroad cars, lumber, ceramics, and textiles.
The settlement received municipal rights in 1714 when Jan Jerzy Przebendowski requested royal intervention, offering tax exemptions to encourage population growth.
The city maintains five universities and multiple sports clubs, while the Museum Jazz Festival and International Biennale demonstrate its commitment to arts.
Located at a major railway junction connecting multiple regions, Ostrów Wielkopolski provides efficient transportation links for both industry and residents.
The Moorish Revival synagogue from the 19th century represents the only architectural structure of this style remaining in Poland.
