Tips from the Community

Rafał Klisowski
May 12, 2025, Dawna Synagoga w Skierniewicach

The synagogue was built in 1880. In September 1939, the Germans destroyed the Skierniewice synagogue. Opposite the synagogue was the Jewish synagogue building belonging to the community, and there was also a Jewish primary school there. In 1946, the local Jewish committee transferred this building to a private person, who in return fenced the surviving remains of the devastated Skierniewice Jewish cemeteries. For many years, the synagogue housed workshops, a shop and apartments, and currently a household appliances store.

The locomotive shed was built in 1845 along with the railway line from Warsaw. In 1861, a turntable was installed in the locomotive shed, and in the following years the local locomotive shed was rebuilt. In 1879, the locomotive shed was expanded to 24 stations. During World War I, on the order of General Ludendorff, the buildings were destroyed on October 21, 1914. After the end of the war, the locomotive shed serviced freight traffic on the section from Warsaw to Piotrków and local passenger traffic. From 1915, it operated as a class II locomotive shed. In 1939, it was downgraded to an auxiliary locomotive shed. During World War II, the facility was expanded. New buildings in the modernist style were erected from red brick. Ty1 freight locomotives and Pd5 locomotives used for local passenger traffic were stationed in Skierniewice. After the war, a steel roof structure with a triangular ridge skylight was installed in the fan-shaped hall instead of the old wooden one, and a welding shop and compressor room were added. The locomotive shed serviced group trains and shunts. In 1970, a diesel locomotive was delegated to Skierniewice. Electric locomotives had been stationed in Skierniewice since mid-1987. In 1989, the stationing of steam locomotives ended. On 31 October 1991, the locomotive shed was liquidated. The premises house a collection of historical railway exhibits acquired by the Polish Association of Railway Enthusiasts[3] (PSMK). In 1994, the locomotive shed complex was entered into the register of historical monuments, and in 2002 it became the property of PSMK[2]. The buildings of the facility are being renovated thanks to support from, among others, Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, Łódź Voivodeship Government, Skierniewice City Office and various railway industry companies. The facility is open to visitors only on designated dates or upon request for organized groups.

The Skierniewice City Park is a park located in the central part of the city on both sides of the Skierniewka (Łupia) River. The origins of the park date back to the 14th century. Initially, it was a garden at the archbishop's manor. The park contained cascades, grottos, gazebos, four ponds and terraces on the river bank during the time of Archbishop Antoni Kazimierz Ostrowski. The Skierniewice park was beautified by Ignacy Krasicki, making it similar to the parks in Smolany. In the 18th century, there was an orangery with orange trees, an Italian garden, orchards and vineyards at the Primate's Palace. In the years 1830–1845, the gardens and park were thoroughly rebuilt, creating a landscape park.

The first station building was built in 1845, the second in 1873, in the English Gothic style with neoclassical interiors, to welcome the Tsar of Russia, who was visiting his residence near Skierniewice. The station building burned down in 1914, renovated according to the plans of Jan F. Heurich, and renovated between 1980 and 2003 in accordance with conservation requirements (plaster on the facades was removed, and the brickwork of the walls was exposed). On August 1, 1944, German Bahnschutz officers burned a wagon at the station containing the bodies of prisoners who had been suffocated during a transport from Pawiak. As it turned out, among the dead were also living people hiding among the dead, posing as corpses in hopes of avoiding transport to a concentration camp. A monument to Stanisław Wokulski, designed by Robert Sobociński, was erected on the platform in 2010.
