Łowicz Markets

In I mentioned earlier Lowicz scrap market, so now a few words about them:

OLD TOWN SQUARE - from 1917 to the age of 90 th century, also known as Thaddeus Kosciuszko Square. He was for many centuries functions trade. Since the Middle Ages took place at the weekly market (Fridays), and annual fairs. The measure of the market occupied a brick Gothic Old Town Hall, which after the construction of the old town hall nowomiejskiego lost importance and was transformed into a composition soli.Został demolished in 1830.
The Old Market Square is the Town Hall (1828) (which is still the seat of the city) Cathedral Basilica church. Blessed Virgin Mary statue "Sons Łowicz Land" (1927) in honor of the fallen in the struggle for freedom; pomisjonarski building that now is the colored museum, Bishop's Palace, the baroque and Renaissance canon, and historic buildings.
After World War II in the middle of the Old Market stood a monument to Polish-Soviet friendship, which was demolished in 1991. I remember fondly the obelisk. Was erected on a big pedestal, which is consisted of the stairs - scary fun for children, but adults did not like it - today was the only stain on the pavement blocks ...

NEW MARKET - let me quote the official information from the Municipal Office
in Lowicz:
"One of the three preserved in their original form triangular markets in Europe (next
Bonn and Paris). The market has Late Gothic town hall with a five-tower erected in 1539, Nearly a hundred years later the tower collapsed irretrievably destroying the building. According to legend, a catastrophe would be due to burning at the stake women accused of witchcraft.

Over the centuries the square served as town market, and the streets leading away from his base were in the form of fair market stalls (street Zduńska, Bielawska and Piotrkowska - now Stanislavski), and butchers' shambles (Nowomiejska Street - currently Goat). Especially noteworthy are brick houses of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries In 1939 the southern frontage of the market has destroyed by the war.

During the Nazi occupation of New Market was included into the Jewish Ghetto (1940-1941). After 1945, children served as a town market - the main shopping square Lowicz. In the 50s of the twentieth century has been rehabilitated and transformed it into an urban park. Conducted in the 90's, the excavations led to the degradation of the market (closed down the fountain, was demolished surface and passageways)
Today the market is refurbished, is again at the fountain, and although the old town hall has been demolished several centuries is still "exists" - place which once were its foundations have been marked with a different color of paving blocks. Around the fountain in the summer evenings, young people gather, thriving social life:)
