About us

Trojanowski Brickyard

Get to know our history

In 1976, Hipolit and Julia Trojanowski founded the Trojanowski Brickyard, which operates continuously to this day. These traditions have been cultivated by successive generations of the Trojanowski family, and knowledge of the secrets of producing quality bricks has been passed down from father to son. Currently, the fourth generation is experiencing the adventure of building ceramics.

It’s more than just a building material
– it’s a story captured in clay and fire.

Our bricks are chosen by architects, conservators and clients looking for authenticity.

Get in touch

The Trojanowski Brickyard, aware of the social role it plays in its surroundings, and as an entrepreneur drawing on the resources of the surrounding area, has made a significant contribution to changing the face of the city and its surroundings. Thanks to the availability of local brick, these bricks have become “beautifully built and standing in their brick color.” Our hand-formed bricks have been used to build numerous churches throughout the Lublin region, and we have also donated bricks free of charge to noble and socially beneficial causes. The Kraśnik brickyards’ greatest gift to the entire Polish nation was the donation of 50,000 bricks for the reconstruction of the Royal Castle in Warsaw.

It’s also worth mentioning Hipolit’s significant involvement in the activities of the Social Committee for the Reconstruction of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Kraśnik Branch. Today, the company boasts 50 years of tradition, resulting in over 50 million bricks produced. Throughout these years, we have collaborated with numerous individual and institutional clients, fulfilling hundreds of orders, and boast over a thousand satisfied customers. It’s also worth mentioning our excellent and fruitful collaboration with conservators and restoration companies, which has resulted in over 300 historic buildings being restored using our products.
