Old Polesie in Łódź

Old Polesie is a residential district in central Łódź organized around a grid of streets and lined with apartment buildings arranged in rows. The neighborhood stretches between two major thoroughfares and contains housing that reflects its development as an urban residential zone.

The district developed during the 1850s when Łódź expanded rapidly westward from its main street. Farmland was transformed into a densely built residential area as the city industrialized and grew.

Norberta Barlickiego Square, once called Wiązowy Square, serves as the heart of the neighborhood where locals and visitors gather together. The market there offers products and goods that reflect the everyday needs and traditions of those who live in the area.

The district is well connected to the city center by tram lines and easy to explore on foot. A modernized market serves as a convenient reference point and central gathering spot within the neighborhood.

Many former industrial buildings throughout the district have been converted into artist studios, offering creative spaces for contemporary work. One restored palace in the area now functions as an art museum, showing how historic structures have been repurposed.
