Gorzkowice, Village in Piotrków County, Łódź Voivodeship, Poland.
Gorzkowice is a village in Piotrków County that serves as the administrative hub for the surrounding Gmina district. The settlement spreads across rural countryside with typical farmsteads and buildings common to Polish villages.
The village first appeared in records during 1335, with its name coming from the Old Polish personal name Gorzek. This early documentation shows the settlement developed as a community during medieval times.
The village keeps rural customs alive through local celebrations, particularly Independence Day gatherings held at the school. These events show how the community values its connections and traditions.
The village sits south of Piotrków Trybunalski and is accessible by car or local buses. Visitors should know this is a small rural community, so services are limited and shops may have restricted hours.
In September 1944, the village became a refuge for thousands of people from Warsaw who were displaced during the Warsaw Uprising. This dramatic period left deep marks on the local memory and heritage.
