Kutno is a railway junction town in Łódź Voivodeship, Poland. The town extends along the Ochnia River and features two market squares and a 19th-century town hall that now houses the Regional Museum.
During the September Campaign of 1939, Polish forces engaged German troops in the Battle of Bzura near the town. The combat operations lasted thirteen days and marked a key moment in the regional wartime history.

The central railway station connects travelers to Warsaw, Poznań, Łódź and Toruń through several daily train services. The two market squares and the town hall are within walking distance of the station and easy to explore on foot.
The town maintains a long tradition of rose cultivation, which appears in numerous gardens throughout its streets. Every year a festival takes place celebrating this historical connection to flower growing and drawing visitors from the region.
