New Market Square

Local name: Nowy Rynek

New Market Square in Łowicz called "Triangle Market" is one of the three preserved triangular markets in Europe, next to such cities as Paris and Bonn. Received the award of the Society of Polish Urbanists in the category "Revitalized public space".

For centuries, the square served as an urban market, and the streets away from it were the exhibition grounds. The brick buildings built in the 16th and 17th centuries deserve attention. In 1939, as a result of warfare, a significant part of the market was destroyed. Between 1940 - 1941, part of the New Market in Łowicz was incorporated into the Jewish ghetto.

In the northern part of the New Market Square there is a restored monument in honor of the Insurgents of 1863. An interesting tenement house located at number 13, called "Pod Potice", which is entered in the register of monuments.
