Sobków, Administrative village in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland

Sobków extends across south-central Poland, positioned 14 kilometers northeast of Jędrzejów and 24 kilometers southwest of Kielce near the Nida river.

The settlement received its foundation in 1563 from Grand Treasurer Stanisław Sobek, maintaining city rights until their withdrawal in 1869 under Russian administration.

The Saint Stanislaus Church, initially constructed as a Calvinist prayer house in the mid-16th century, features a cross-shaped design and contains Baroque altar elements.

The village maintains a rail station three kilometers northwest, connecting travelers to the main railway line between Kraków and Kielce.

The Fortalicja sobkowska castle, built between 1560 and 1570, includes rectangular walls with corner towers along the Nida river bank.
