Solec Kujawski, Urban municipality in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Solec Kujawski is a city in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship situated on the Vistula River between Bydgoszcz and Toruń. It functions as an administrative hub while balancing urban and rural characteristics across its territory.
The city received town rights in 1325 from Duke Przemysł and experienced multiple shifts in control afterward. Polish, Prussian, and German administrations each left their mark on the settlement's character and development.
The name Solec comes from salt production, which once shaped the town's economy and character. Walking through the old town, you can sense how this heritage influenced the layout and development of the community.
The town is easily accessible from Bydgoszcz to the south or Toruń to the north via the main routes. Visitors will find basic services and amenities available for exploring both the town and surrounding villages.
JuraPark Solec is a major attraction featuring life-sized dinosaur replicas and prehistoric-themed displays throughout its grounds. The facility draws visitors from across the region and offers educational experiences for all ages.
