Żywiec Brewery Museum

Distance: 55.7 km

The museum where you can taste it. The Żywiec Brewery, founded in 1856 by Archduke Albrecht Frederick Habsburg, is one of the most well-known breweries in Europe. 150 years later, in its oldest, historic part, a very interesting museum was opened…

The Żywiec Brewery Museum was opened in 2006 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the brewery. It is one of the largest and most modern facilities of its kind in Poland. The location of the museum itself is intriguing, as it is located in the former lager cellars of the brewery.

Upon entering the museum gates, visitors enter a world marked by over 160 years of brewery history and the beer produced in it. Moving through the exhibition halls, they actively learn about the successive periods of the brewery’s development and the Żywiec brand, up to the present day.

After touring the museum rooms, visitors have time to enjoy beer and purchase souvenirs. The Żywiec Brewery Museum is one of the objects on the Silesian Voivodeship Technical Monuments Trail, distinguished with the title of Technical Star. Since 2010, it has been a so-called anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage, testifying to its supra-regional importance for the industrial history of Europe.
