History

The Żywiec Archducal Brewery is one of the most famous and successful producers of beer in Poland. The history of the plant began in the mid-nineteenth century, when the decision was taken by Archduke Albrecht Friedrich Habsburg, the then owner of Żywiec to build a brewery. Many of the original brewery buildings have been preserved to this day. They were designed by Karol Pietschka. The Żywiec Brewery Museum astounds with modern solutions, where we will learn the history of the plant and the process of beer production.

The ultramodern Żywiec Brewery Museum, located in the former rock-carved fermentation and sun-cellar, invites you to travel to the past. 18 rooms have been separated here, in which the history of beer brewing in Żywiec and methods of its production are presented in an interesting way. Visitors can move to the street of a Galician town, join a traditional inn, visit a colonial shop. The Żywiec Brewery Museum is located on the Industrial Monuments Trail of the Silesian Voivodeship and on the European Industrial Heritage Trail.
