Urban Planning Concept

Cedynia is the westernmost city in Poland. It was founded on the slopes of the Krzymowskie Hills. Thanks to its location, Cedynia’s most interesting preserved buildings are situated on sloping terrain, which gives the impression that we are exploring a “mountain” town.

Cedynia features an unusual, triangular-shaped main square. Adjacent to it stands the historic town hall. Due to the terrain, the building at 1 Wolności Square is two stories high on the western side and one story high on the eastern side.

In the western part of the market square, you’ll find the architecturally most significant buildings—a uniform row of structures along Świerczewskiego Street. Among these buildings are tenement houses with eclectic, richly decorated facades.

The northern part of Żymierskiego Street features dense urban development; the eastern part is dominated by agricultural buildings, while the western part consists of brick townhouses with interesting decorative elements.

The urban layout of the block bounded by Wolności Square, Żymierskiego Street, and Pułaskiego Street includes buildings dating from the 12th century to the early 20th century. Some of the structures protected by the conservator underwent renovation in 2014. The block was inscribed on the provincial list of historic monuments in June 1996.
