Płock: Guide

Płock () is a city in central Poland, on Vistula river, with 131,011 inhabitants. It is situated in the Masovian Voivodeship (since 1999), having previously been the capital of the Płock Voivodeship (1975-1998). It now heads a Powiat (province) at the extreme west of the Mazovian Voivodeship.

History

Its 12th century cathedral contains the tombs of Władysław I Herman|Ladislaus Herman (died 1102) and Bolesław III Wrymouth|Boleslaus III the Wrymouth (died 1138) - Rulers of Poland|the dukes of Poland. They are buried in the Cathedral Basilica in Płock. Some historians say that Płock was the capital city of Poland during their reign (1080-1138). It was also a seat of several of the Dukes of Masovia and one of the capitals of that state.

Religions

Jews

The Jewish presence in Płock dates back many centuries, probably to 1400. In 1938, almost 25% of the population was Jewish, making Płock one of the cities in Poland with the highest proportional Jewish presence.

The Jewish population of Płock was destroyed during the Shoah. After Second World War, a few former residents returned, only to encounter a widespread hostility. This even led to accusations of ritual murder when, near Passover 1946, a child was reported missing -- only to be found a few days later. This was the final blow: nowadays (2006) virtually no Jews live in Płock.

Mariavites

This city is the main seat of the Mariavite Church|Mariavite bishops. Their most important church was built here in the beginning of 20th century - it is called Temple of Mercy and Charity and is situated in a pleasant garden on the hill on which the historical centre of Płock is built, near the Vistula river.

Economy

The main industry is Petroleum|oil refining. The country's largest oil refinery and company, PKN Orlen is located there; it is served by a large Pipeline transport|pipeline leading from Russia to Germany. There are several industrial activities connected with the refinery, for servicing and construction; there is a factory producing for Levi Strauss & Co.
