About Zagórze
Where to stay in Zagórze
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Sosnowiec keeps the hotels. Zagórze is residential ground, laid out around Mieroszewskich Park and the housing that arrived with Huta Katowice, so a stay here means a quiet street and a ride in rather than a lobby downstairs. That suits you if the Mieroszewski Manor is the point of the trip.
The Church of Saint Joachim and the Grodzisko site are listed in the same district, which puts three protected sites inside one set of streets.
About Zagórze
What are the main landmarks in Zagórze?
The Mieroszewski Manor is the set piece, a manor house in Sosnowiec that gave its family's name to the park beside it. Green space follows. Mieroszewskich Park spreads through Zagórze beside the manor, and the Church of Saint Joachim stands on the same side of Sosnowiec.
Smaller entries fill out the register: the archaeological site at Grodzisko, and a listed fence on Jerzego Popiełuszki street.
What is the history of Zagórze?
The record starts in 1228, when Zagórze first appears by name, though the archaeological site known as Grodzisko points to settlement on this ground well before any charter was written. The Mieroszewski family left the clearest mark. Their manor still stands in Sosnowiec, and the park that carries their name was laid out beside it.
Then came Huta Katowice. The steelworks pulled new housing and new roads across land that had been farmed, and the village outline that had survived from the medieval record was largely overwritten.
Where is Zagórze?
Sosnowiec ends here. Zagórze is the northernmost of the city's districts, its ground reworked when Huta Katowice went up, with Mieroszewskich Park green at its centre.
