About Grodziec
Where to stay in Grodziec
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Będzin holds the rooms. Grodziec spreads over sixteen square kilometres at one remove from the centre, so a base by the Saint Dorothy church in Będzin puts the palace, the parish churches and the shops within reach on foot. The district answers better to a car and a longer stay.
Its own draws run industrial and green: the Water tower in Będzin-Grodziec, the Cementownia Grodziec buildings and Park Ciechanowskich.
About Grodziec
What are the main landmarks in Grodziec?
Industry supplies most of what is listed here: the Silos and elevator tower of Cementownia Grodziec, the sludge tank building of Cementownia Grodziec, and the wider zespół zabudowy Cementowni Grodziec w Będzinie. The Water tower in Będzin-Grodziec stands apart. Older stock survives on the Będzin side, where the Ciechanowski Palace in Będzin, the Saint Dorothy church in Będzin and the Saint Catherine of Alexandria church in Będzin are all recorded.
Park Ciechanowskich completes the list.
What is the history of Grodziec?
Two stories run through Grodziec. The older one belongs to the Zespół pałacowy Ciechanowskich and the Park Ciechanowskich that shares its name, and to the parish churches recorded across Będzin. The other is industrial, written in the silos, elevator tower and sludge tank of Cementownia Grodziec.
Grodziec keeps its name in those industrial titles.
Where is Grodziec?
Sixteen square kilometres of Będzin fall to Grodziec, ground carrying the Cementownia Grodziec works and the Water tower in Będzin-Grodziec.
