Tychy, Industrial city in southern Poland

The city lies between Katowice and Mikołów, with the Gostynia River flowing through its territory and two minor mountain ranges within 25 kilometers.

First documented in 1467 as an agricultural settlement, Tychy grew from a small village into a significant urban center following its designation as New City in 1950.

The Muzeum Miniaturowej Sztuki Profesjonalnej Henryk Jan Dominiak preserves local heritage while GKS Tychy maintains strong sporting traditions in ice hockey competitions.

Tychy maintains an efficient trolleybus system for public transportation, connecting major areas within the city through one of three remaining networks in Poland.

The Książęcy Brewery, established in 1629, continues production as one of Poland's largest breweries, making Tyskie beer a recognized national product.
