History of the Różycki bazaar

The bazaar was still established in the Russian partition, survived two world wars, the Second Polish Republic and the PRL. The beginnings of the Third Polish Republic were also kind to him, but with the establishment of the Europa Fair at the 10th anniversary stadium he began to decline. The liquidation of this commercial giant did not help him much. Currently, most booths are closed, the commercial function is residual.

In recent years, tin pavilions have been placed on the urban part, but this has not revived the historic market. Most of the plot belongs to private individuals, heirs of former owners.
