Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the article is to analyze the role of Lutherans in shaping the cultural landscape of Piotrków Trybunalski. In addition, the elements of the material heritage of this denomination and its significance for the development of tourism in the town were analyzed. These considerations concern the area of Piotrków Trybunalski primarily for historical reasons – the Lutheran parish established in this town at the end of the 18th century and it is one of the oldest Evangelical parishes in the present-day Łódź Province. It is also one of the few urban centers in the voivodeship, which uses the presence and heritage of religious minorities to promote their diversity and cultural richness.
