A city in the Masovian Voivodeship in central Poland. Located about 90 km west-northwest of Warsaw, it developed on a terrace on the right bank of the Vistula River. Population 130,830 (2000). A market town that developed relatively early in the Kujawy Plain, a corner of the Greater Wielkopolska region, its existence became known in the 10th century and developed into a city in 1237. Between the 12th and 14th centuries it became a leading industrial city known for its goldwork and joinery, and the cathedral and many other historical buildings that show its former prosperity remain. After World War II, with the establishment of an oil refinery and petrochemical complex (1962), it rapidly grew into an oil industrial city.

ポーランド中央部、マゾフシェ県の都市。ワルシャワの西北西約90キロメートルに位置し、ビスワ川右岸の段丘上に発達する。人口13万0830(2000)。ビエルコポルスカ地方の一角、クヤビ平野のなかで比較的早くから開けた市場町で、10世紀にはその存在が知られ、1237年には都市へと発展した。12~14世紀には金細工、指物などで知られる有数の工業都市になり、往時の繁栄を示す大聖堂や多くの歴史的建造物が残る。第二次世界大戦後に石油精製・石油化学コンビナートの立地(1962)によって、急速に石油工業都市へ成長した。 [山本 茂] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
