Where to stay in Odolany
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Beds in Odolany are sparse, and the choice divides between the streets around Saint Lawrence's Church and the workshop side near the Szczęśliwice depot, with the rest of Wola beyond. Neither side is touristed. Anyone here for the Cmentarz Powstańców Warszawy, the Izba Pamięci or the Ordon Redoubt memorial does better on the cemetery side, while BayLab and the rail workshops pull the other way.
Drukarzy Street and Włochowska Street are named addresses here.

About Odolany
What are the main landmarks in Odolany?
Rail sheds and cemeteries share the ground. The Szczęśliwice locomotive depot left a welding shop, wagon repair workshops, a stationmaster's house and an accumulator building, all of them named in the record of Odolany. Saint Lawrence's Church stands nearby, with the Mariavite Church in Warsaw and the Old Mariavite Church in Warsaw close by.
Two cemeteries follow. Cmentarz Wolski carries the cemetery church of Grzegorz Wielki, the Cmentarz Powstańców Warszawy has an Izba Pamięci beside it, and the Ordon Redoubt memorial marks the same stretch.
What is the history of Odolany?
Wola frames the story. Odolany belongs to the district of Wola in Warsaw, and the ground it covers holds the Ordon Redoubt memorial, the Cmentarz Powstańców Warszawy and its Izba Pamięci, each tied to fighting rather than to a founding charter. Pomnik "Polegli Niepokonani" stands on the Cmentarz Wolski side.
No year of foundation is recorded. Railway buildings account for the rest of the register, from the Szczęśliwice welding shop to the wagon repair workshops and the accumulator building.
Where is Odolany?
Wola holds Odolany, and the locomotive workshops at Szczęśliwice, the Cmentarz Wolski and the Cmentarz Powstańców Warszawy take up much of its ground.
