Arche Cukrownia Żnin – Industrial Conference Centre by the Lake

Arche Cukrownia Żnin is a monumental revitalisation of a 19th-century sugar factory transformed into a modern conference and recreation centre. The venue operates on a "city within a city" concept — across 35 hectares of grounds the original layout of buildings, chimneys and machinery has been preserved, combining raw, post-industrial aesthetics with the functionality of modern hospitality. This is a macro-scale venue — 313 rooms, 11 conference halls and the Sugar Warehouse for 800 people — designed for organisers seeking a space unlike any standard hotel ballroom. Concrete, steel and red brick form a natural setting for loft-style events, trade shows and large outdoor gatherings, while the location on Lake Duże Żnińskie adds a recreational dimension.

IDEAL FOR

Industrial-style events and loft-themed corporate parties

The raw interiors of the Sugar Warehouse create an authentic, loft-style atmosphere ideal for tech, creative and construction industries looking for unconventional settings. Brick, steel and history in one place — no need for additional scenography.

Large corporate picnics and family days by the lake

35 hectares of grounds by the lake offer virtually unlimited possibilities for outdoor events for thousands of employees with their families. Beach, water sports and green areas in a single venue.

Corporate conferences and congresses for large groups

11 conference halls in one venue, including the Sugar Warehouse for 800 people, can handle the largest corporate conferences, industry congresses and multi-track training programmes. Air conditioning, AV equipment and technical infrastructure at the highest level.

✔ Trade shows, exhibitions and industry displays

The vast flat surface of the Sugar Warehouse and high ceilings (allowing equipment to be driven in) make this venue an excellent base for industry trade shows, product launches and machinery exhibitions. A format difficult to realise in standard hotels.

360° integration — full team building programme without leaving the grounds

Combining an on-site brewery, cinema, bowling alley, SPA, water park and lake in one "city" allows a complete integration programme without leaving the venue. Every participant finds something for themselves.
