ABSTRACT
In recent years, numerous post-industrial revitalization projects have been completed in Poland, gaining increasing significance both for cultural heritage preservation and urban development. The process of revitalizing industrial facilities has become a prominent research focus, illustrating the potential of adapting historic buildings for new, modern functions. This article presents the history of the Żnin Sugar Factory within the broader economic transformations of Poland’s sugar industry, as well as its unique revitalization as an example of integrating traditional architecture with the needs of the hospitality and recreational sectors. The favorable location of Żnin in relation to other regional tourist sites further enhances the project’s commercial appeal. The project is notable for its commitment to preserving the site’s identity, employing material recycling and retaining original building structures. By introducing hotel, conference, and recreational functions, the former sugar factory now serves as a modern complex with significant touristic and socio-economic value. This example serves as an inspiration for similar ventures, demonstrating that historical sites can play a vital role in contemporary urban spaces, blending the past with the present and supporting the development of local communities.
