Przeworsk was famous for its cloth industry. The weaving guild existed in Przeworsk at least from 1490. However, the local workshops gained real fame in the 16th and 17th centuries, when looms were improved. We know that the linen produced in Przeworsk was exported to various parts of Europe.
They were especially valued in Red Ruthenia, which included e.g. territory of present-day Ukraine. At the peak of development, as many as 900 weavers worked in Przeworsk!
Fortunately, this important element of the city's history was not only preserved, but also completely restored. Over a dozen talented carpenters worked on it for several months. The building dates from 1859 and is an example of the former traditional bourgeois architecture of Przeworsk from the second half of the 19th century.
The Weaver's House
This building was in danger of collapsing just a few years ago. At that time, it still stood in the center of Przeworsk and - according to many - was a poor showpiece of the city. However, in the 19th century it was completely different. The house with the weaving workshop was one of the prestigious urban buildings.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
