Ludwik Geyer was a real influencer of his time. To put it humorously, it was he who initiated the fashion for factory chimneys. As a result of his bold visions and dynamic actions, the urban landscape of Lodz underwent a radical transformation after 1839, and Lodz soon became known as the 'chimney-town'.
The chimney he built was part of the so-called White Factory, which now houses the Textile Museum (an absolute must), and the impressive empire of the young factory owner, who came to Lodz from Saxony, quickly grew to 48 hectares, witnessing the turbulent fate of successive generations of the Geyer family – so important to the history and development of Lodz.
Today, the huge post-industrial complex of 19 buildings has been given a new life, becoming a place for meetings, relaxation and cultural life. As well as getting a good dose of multimedia knowledge about old Lodz at the Textile Museum, you can also dine in one of the trendy restaurants or for example watch a dance performance. Even better, do all of these things while visiting the Geyer Gardens. It's well worth it!
