Here are the 5 best abandoned places in Radom, selected from our Urbex Poland Map — 1000+ GPS locations across Poland.
Why is Radom special for urbex?
Radom is a city with a rich industrial and military history, hiding many undiscovered treasures — from a Nazi training camp with 13 bunkers hidden in the forest, through abandoned factory halls from the communist era, to forgotten Mazovian palaces. One of the least explored regions for urban exploration in Mazovia.
1. Lager Kruszyna – 13 Wehrmacht Bunkers from 1940, Sowie Góry Forest (Known Location)
Built in 1940 by Jewish prisoners as a German army training camp in the Sowie Góry forest — barracks, shooting range, canteen, mess hall, and cinema for up to 10,000 soldiers. On December 16, 1942, the Germans decided to deport 1,800 Jewish workers to an extermination camp — a revolt during which most lost their lives. Today, 13 reinforced concrete bunkers still stand in the forest, undestroyed despite demolition attempts — these concrete monsters remain as they were. One of the darkest and most unique military urbex sites in Mazovia.

2. Pruszaków Palace – Classical Residence with Columns, Radom City Center (Known Location)
The classical Pruszaków Palace with distinctive columns and ornamental details — one of the most recognizable abandoned residences in central Radom, attracting those who want to travel back to the era when Radom thrived with aristocratic life. Abandoned after successive changes of ownership and purpose — ownership disputes have suspended its fate between renovation and demolition for decades.

3. Abandoned Arms Factory Halls from the 1930s – Machines and COP Documentation, Radom (Exclusive on our Map)
Built in the 1930s as part of the Central Industrial District of the Second Polish Republic — Radom was one of the main centers for COP firearms production, famous for the Vis wz. 35 pistols. Large production halls with original machining equipment still in place, technical documentation from the communist era scattered on the floor, and a workers’ canteen with a menu board. Closed after ownership changes in the 1990s. Exact location available on our Urbex Poland Map.
4. Abandoned Infectious Disease Hospital from the 1930s – Tiled Corridors and Windowless Wards, Near Radom (Exclusive on our Map)
Built in the 1930s as an infectious disease hospital in a forest on the outskirts of Radom — long corridors with original tiles, patient wards with cast-iron beds still in rows, and windows bricked up when the building’s purpose changed. Closed after healthcare system reorganization in the 1990s — too large to adapt, too costly to maintain. One of the darkest urban exploration sites in the Radom region. Exact location available on our Urbex Poland Map.
5. 19th Century Noble Manor – Linden Avenue and Well in the Courtyard, Mazovia (Exclusive on our Map)
19th-century noble manor in the landscape of southern Mazovia — original tiled stoves in the chambers, a park with a linden avenue leading to ruined outbuildings, and a courtyard well with a still functional windlass. Nationalized after the 1944 land reform, used as a PGR (State Agricultural Farm) headquarters — abandoned after its collapse in 1991. The Radom region has preserved a dozen such manors, each a separate layer of the history of Polish Mazovian nobility. Exact location available on our Urbex Poland Map.
