Milanówek, Urban municipality in Grodzisk Mazowiecki County, Poland
Milanówek is an urban municipality in Masovia that spreads across flat terrain southwest of the capital. The town's layout and growth follow the path of a major railway line that runs through it, connecting it to surrounding areas.
The town originated in the late 1800s when a landowner divided his property along a newly built railway to create a settlement. This founding linked its early growth directly to rail transport and the economic activity that followed.
St. Hedwig Church stands at the heart of the community and holds deep meaning for residents who connect with its past. The place has become a spiritual anchor that shapes how people understand their town's identity.
The town is served by a railway station with direct connections to regional and long-distance trains, making arrival straightforward for most visitors. Walking through the town center gives you easy access to the main sites without needing to cover large distances.
During the 1920s, a research center dedicated to silk production was established here, making the town a hub for this specialized industry. This unusual economic focus is not immediately obvious today, but it reveals the diverse industrial past of the place.
