We are a continuation of the rich traditions of our ancestors, who have had a significant impact on the development of our region.
For centuries, Kamienna Góra was seen as a town in which the weaving craft played a major role, and then the textile industry was widely developed. In the Middle Ages, weaving appeared in the craft settlement around the town walls as one of the leading craft industries. Natural conditions made flax (linen plant) more likely to be grown and the population of the town and the population of the town and the surrounding villages earned their living by selling products resulting from its processing.
Since XIII, textile production was organized by guilds.
New textile specializations have been introduced, such as cloth weavers, linen weavers, linsey-woolsey makers, spinners, linen combers, dyers, and shearers. In 1521, a linen makers’ guild was established in Kamienna Góra, associating forty craftsmen. In the years 1526-1617, there was a significant economic boom in the Duchy of Świdnica. Home weaving developed. The purchase of linen cloth and its export outside of Silesia were organized on a large scale. Kamienna Góra has become one of the main centers of production and trade in linen.
In the 19th century, the era of industrial revolution began in Lower Silesia.
Technical progress affected the development of the textile industry and machine production was used at the earliest.
