Raków fills a residential corner of Warsaw's Włochy district, with Fort VI and the Centrum Łopuszańska 22 shopping mall inside its bounds.
About Raków
Where to stay in Raków
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Centrum Łopuszańska 22 anchors the practical end of Raków, and apartment buildings rather than hotels take up most of the ground between the mall and the single-family detached houses that the neighbourhood still keeps. Fort VI holds the other pole. Hotel rooms do not turn up between those two poles.
Stays generally sit in the wider Włochy district or nearer Okęcie, with the Our Lady of Loreto church in Warsaw Włochy as the fixed point between them.
About Raków
What are the main landmarks in Raków?
Two entries carry the list. Fort VI survives as fortification, and the Our Lady of Loreto church in Warsaw Włochy accounts for the other named structure that the neighbourhood claims. Centrum Łopuszańska 22 is the third fixture.
A mall belongs to a different register than a fort or a church, and Raków has little else standing that carries a name of its own.
What is the history of Raków?
The thirteenth century gave Raków its start. It later fell within the village of Okęcie, and manufacturing took hold across the area in the decades that followed, before the city drew the whole neighbourhood inside its own boundary in 1951. Apartment buildings came last.
Warsaw's Włochy district holds the result, a residential quarter where Fort VI and the Our Lady of Loreto church in Warsaw Włochy are the named survivals.
Where is Raków?
Raków lies inside the Włochy district of Warsaw, with Okęcie alongside and Fort VI standing among the apartment buildings and detached houses.
