Żyrardów, Industrial municipality in Mazovia, Poland

The red brick buildings and factory complexes in Żyrardów form a complete 19th-century industrial urban layout across the central district of the city.

The town emerged in 1833 when the Łubieński brothers established a textile factory, later becoming one of Europe's largest linen manufacturing centers by 1885.

The Western Mazovia Museum presents exhibitions about the city's textile manufacturing heritage through artifacts, documents, and machinery from different periods.

Regular train connections link Żyrardów to Warsaw, with the journey taking approximately 45 minutes from the central station located near the historical district.

The textile factory workers' houses, administrative buildings, and social facilities remain intact, representing a complete industrial settlement from the 1800s.
