The town has a population of around 20,000 residents and features several historical buildings, including the Wieluń Castle and the Church of St. Joseph. Wieluń is also notable for its tragic role during World War II, as it was one of the first towns in Poland to be bombed by the German Luftwaffe in 1939.

Today, Wieluń is a symbol of resilience and recovery, with efforts to preserve its historical sites and promote local culture.
