Mały Rynek

There is a market here - you can buy antiques, honey, various fruit juices, weapons and clothing. One star less for the price of clothes, because it is definitely exaggerated in relation to quality, and probably elevated due to tourists. And other things at reasonable prices.

"The Little Market in Kazimierz Dolny is an unusual place steeped in the atmosphere of the past, having its unique atmosphere and color! The name Mały Rynek has only been around since the interwar period. Earlier, this square was called Plac Towarowski, Rear of the Market Square or the Pig Market. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries a Jewish quarter was established here. Wooden buildings dominated in it. There were plenty of traders and service places here: stalls, shops, stalls and workshops. There was also a synagogue, of course. Near the synagogue, there was a wooden kosher butcher's house where you could buy meat from animals killed in accordance with Jewish religious regulations. Nearby, in the alley behind the square before the war, so-called cow market where livestock were traded. Behind the shambles stood a house from the beginning of the 20th century, which housed the so-called "The Mill Mill". In front of the facade of the church of St. Anna, on the former Jatkowa Street, in the old building there was one of the most popular places in the town "Bar Kazimierski", now "Bar pod Bykiem", famous for its excellent dumplings and tinctures. A thriving Tomczyk brewery operated in the central point of Mały Rynek. Only a stone platform is left of it, where stalls are set up on the market day. Every day, boys dressed in jeep rider costumes, or a school for educating future rabbis, ran around the pre-war cobbled streets of the Small Market, which was based in the adjacent street. In 1922 and 1923, a popular figure in the Jewish quarter was the water carrier Abrum. At that time, the stream flowed past the now defunct houses on the left. The largest of them was the brick building with the attic, connected to the manor standing above the stream, called the "Rabina's Manor". It was located on former Wychodnia Street and present Browarna Street. They say that the old manor house on Grodarz was the property of Rabbi Ezekiel Taub "from Kuzmir", also known as the "singing tzadik". Ezekiel, who died in 1856, was supposedly able to stop the waters of the raging Grodnik with a cane. In this building, Jews gathered for prayers. During the Nazi occupation, wooden buildings in the Small Market Square were almost completely destroyed. After World War II, the synagogue and jatki were renovated by Karol Siciński. In his projects he used their image recorded, among others on archival photographs of Juliusz Kłos. The slaughterhouses were erected on a stone platform and preserved. Currently, there are Bistro Third Moon and Klubojatka Przystanek Dobra, in which music and art in the broad sense is as important as good and healthy cuisine or local drinks. Every weekend there are concerts of Polish and foreign musicians, poetry meetings, documentary and feature film screenings. On weekends in the Little Market is always busy and crowded! Old furniture, lamps and clocks, trinkets, Venetian glass, porcelain, military items, coins, stamps, paintings and jewelry are just a small part of the items that you can buy or admire at the famous flea market. The old Jewish market in the center of Kazimierz Dolny is a very interesting and colorful place. Despite the passage of time, there is still an amazing climate here, you can feel the atmosphere of the old days and positive energy! Unique monuments, regional restaurants, colorful artistic performances and the famous flea market make the Little Market teem with life. Whoever was here knows that it's easy to love this place! "

Actually a "small" market.

There is actually nothing there except a few stalls. But you can buy a souvenir here, though not necessarily from Kazimierz.

A beautiful place 🙂
