General information about Polianka

The urban-type village of Polianka on the Hnyluska River is located 75 kilometers west of Zhytomyr, next to Baranivka. Administratively, it is part of the Zviahel district of the Zhytomyr region.

The settlement was founded at the end of the 18th century by the Polish magnate Karol Prushynsky. At the end of the 19th century, the owner of the Baranivsk porcelain factory, Mykola Hripari, built a brick factory in Polianka, which in 1906 was transformed into a pottery factory - now it is the Polianka electroporcelain factory.

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Mary Magdalene was built in 1995.

Cелище міського типу Полянка на річці Гнилушка розташоване за 75 кілометрів на захід від Житомира, поруч із Баранівкою. Адміністративно входить до складу Звягельського району Житомирської області.

Поселення заснував наприкінці XVIII століття польський магнат Кароль Прушинський. Наприкінці XIX століття власник Баранівського порцелянового заводу Микола Гріпарі побудував у Полянці цегельню, яка в 1906 році була перетворена на завод гончарних виробів - нині це Полянківський електрофарфоровий завод.
