Tips from the Community
Łęczyca was chartered under German law before 1260. The oldest brick town hall, mentioned as early as the late 14th century, was located – as archaeological research has shown – in the central part of the Market Square. The town hall was built as the seat of the mayor, councilors, the city court, the land courts, and the city archives. It also housed a prison and the city scales. The building also housed the executioner's axe. The date and cause of the destruction of the first town hall are unknown. A 1777 inventory contains information about the town's lack of a town hall, the town council meeting in private homes, and the storage of documents in the mayor's house – likely the reason for the 1787 decision by the Police Department of the Permanent Council to rebuild the town hall in Łęczyca. At the same time, the idea arose to adapt the former Jesuit church as the seat of the city authorities, but this was rejected due to the high costs of the conversion and the building's distance from the city center. Ultimately, architect Jakub Kubicki, the then city architect, decided to build a new town hall on the Market Square, on the site of the former municipal seat. He also prepared a building design and a detailed work program. This plan included involving residents in the construction work to reduce construction costs and sourcing bricks from the old city walls. The Łęczyca municipal seat was built with funds granted to the city by the king and thanks to the efforts of the residents. Construction work was carried out between 1788 and 1790. The first session of the town council in the new town hall took place in 1791.

The prison gate from the film "Vabank" in the former prison on Pocztowa Street. This facility was used as a filming location not only for "Vabank" but also for other productions, such as "Papusza." The prison closed in 2006 and is now partially open to the public as a museum.

A defensive structure in Łęczyca, erected by King Casimir the Great. The exact date of the castle's commencement and completion is unknown. Construction work may have begun shortly after 1345, when the Łęczyca lands still belonged to Duke Władysław the Hunchback, but were no longer his principal residence. King Casimir the Great, naturally in consultation with the Duke, could have begun the defensive project at that time.
