Tyskie Browary Książęce – Tradition Brewed for Centuries

Visiting Tychy and not touring the Tyskie Browary Książęce is like being in Kraków and not seeing Wawel – it simply doesn't feel right! This place is an integral part of the city's history and one of the most recognizable symbols of the region. The distance from B&B HOTEL Tychy is just 2.5 km. The golden brew has been crafted here since 1629. This is where the famous Tyskie beer is produced, cherished both in Poland and abroad.

Familioki – The History of Working-Class Housing

Near the Tyskie Browary, you will find another exceptional place on the map of Tychy. This is the over 100-year-old historic estate called Osada, located in the northernmost district of Tychy – in Czułów, at Katowicka Street. Built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for the workers of the nearby princely paper factory, it consists of brick residential buildings known as familioki, where the lives of working-class families once thrived. Walking through this estate, you can step back in time, feel the atmosphere of old Tychy, and marvel at the architecture of the place, which, after revitalization, has a lot to offer.
