Sulejów, Historical city in central Poland

Located on the banks of the Pilica and Radońka rivers, Sulejów stands in the Łódź region with a population of 6,130 residents.

The Cistercian abbey, established between 1176 and 1177 by Kazimierz Sprawiedliwy, marked the beginning of organized settlement in the area.

A meeting in June 1318 brought together Polish nobles to officially accept papal conditions for the restoration of the Polish Kingdom.

The limestone deposits near Sulejów led to calcium production facilities, with products transported via rivers to Warsaw and Gdańsk.

During World War II, bombing raids in September 1939 destroyed 80 percent of the buildings and caused nearly 1,000 casualties.
