All Saints Orthodox Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The establishment of the Orthodox parish in Piotrków is associated with a group of Greeks who came to Piotrków from Macedonia in the mid-18th century. King Stanisław August allowed the opening of an Orthodox pastoral facility in 1788 in the attic of a private house, owned by the Grabowski family at today's Stefan Czarniecki Square (former Krótka Street) 10. The first parish priest was hieromonk Grzegorz, originally from the island of Chios, a monk of one of the Athos communities. He performed his duties until his death in 1832. His duties were taken over by a Russian priest, Fr. Żadziński. Until 1839, the Piotrków parish, as an ethnically Greek one, was not subject to the local structures of the Russian Orthodox Church. It was only after that date that it was incorporated into it, which meant the removal of the Greek language from the liturgy. Located at 15 Juliusza Słowackiego Street. Built in the years 1844–1847, and expanded according to the design of the Russian architect Ivan Vasilyevich Shtrem in the years 1867–1869.

Bernardine Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

The foundation of the monastery in Piotrków Trybunalski was primarily contributed to by the Starczewskis, a wealthy noble family from the Sieradz voivodeship. The main founder, Florian Starczewski, initially conceived the idea of founding a monastery for the Bernardines in Drużbice near Bełchatów, on his hereditary estates. However, on the advice of his older brother, Father Leonard Starczewski, then the provincial of the Bernardines (1623–6), he changed the plan and purchased an appropriate plot of land in Piotrków for the foundation. The provincial probably meant that in Piotrków, which was then an important centre of political life, there were broader prospects for pastoral work. The atmosphere in Piotrków, favourable to the Bernardines, created – as mentioned – by the Bernardine collectors and preachers, was probably also significant. In 1624, Florian Starczewski purchased a property on Rokszyckie Przedmieście near the Sieradzka Gate for the Bernardines in Piotrków from the townspeople Augustyn and Małgorzata Łysogórski and Anna Scheterowa and the nobleman Maciej Wężyk. This place was then called Łysa Góra. On May 5, 1625, the Archbishop of Gniezno, Henryk Firlej, allowed the Bernardines to settle in Piotrków. The consolidated property was accepted on behalf of the order by the provincial Leonard Starczewski, who in 1624 had sent two fathers to Piotrków: Paweł from Radomsko and Mateusz from Piotrków. Their task was to build a wooden church and monastery as soon as possible. The founder helped them significantly in this, allocating 7,000 złoty for this purpose in 1625. Florian Starczewski's foundation was supported by his brothers, Stanisław, bishop suffragan of Płock, and Wawrzyniec, canon of Kraków and provost of Radłów, who in 1625 donated 1,000 złoty each. The work related to the construction of the wooden church and monastery progressed quickly, so that the ceremonial introduction of the Bernardines could take place on June 1, 1625. The usual procession in such cases was led from the Dominican church to the Łysogóry hill with the participation of the clergy and citizens of Piotrków. In place of the absent provincial Starczewski, who was at that time in Rome for the general chapter, his delegate Baltazar Witomyślski took over the foundation. The church was consecrated on February 13, 1626, on the authority of the Archbishop of Gniezno, Jan Wężyk, by the founder's brother Wawrzyniec Starczewski, canon of Kraków.

Słoneczko Beach

Highlight • Beach

The swimming area at Lake Bugaj has been serving the residents of Piotrków since 2006. "Słoneczko" has an eighty-meter sandy beach. Fans of water attractions can use the rental of water equipment (kayaks, water bikes). For those who prefer to spend more time on the beach, there is a beach volleyball and football pitch. After an active holiday, it is worth visiting the gastronomic garden. A running path has been created around "Słoneczko", which is ideal for practicing, for example, Nordic Walking.

The swimming area is marked and guarded by a team of lifeguards. It is also under the supervision of the sanitary inspection. A parking lot has also been prepared.

Beautiful brick architecture. A completely different building, even incompatible with the rest of the city's plastered buildings. Phenomenally dominant with its atmosphere.
